We needed a fun way to really get the multiplication facts down pat without having to do repetitive drills, so we decided to go with a lapbook as Munchkin enjoys them. I found a fun one at Hands of a Child, and made some additions to make it work a little better for us.
She’s slowly working through this lapbook by doing a few activities each day.
I made some bread sticks that contained multiplication facts. I also did some blank ones for Munchkin to make up some of her own problems. I also made up some times table charts for her to fill in.
I decided to include a multiplication chart for Munchkin.
The lapbook includes a fun bingo game.
interesting work
I find the only way to learn times tables is repetitive drills (although we do have a neat music cd with them on it) we also learn them by worksheets.
happy learning

Munchkin gets too frustrated (and bored) with the normal repetitive drills, so this way, she’s still doing the drills without it seeming like the drills. lol!
I am so inspired! I love seeing your lapbooks! Great job Munchikin!
I love your blog! So inspiring and heart stirring. Also, your lapbooks are wonderful.
Homeschooled all 5 of our children on the mission field. Finished with that now, but God still has lots for me to do.
