Do you want to know how to help a child learn math facts?
Number lines, charts, fingers, and counters will delay memorization of the math facts.
As an educator of children with learning disabilities, I have always stressed mastery of the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. Unless the facts are automatic, children will have difficulty learning more advanced math skills, and with solving word problems. This is also true for children without learning disabilities.
If you live in an area which follows Common Core State Standards, please view each book to see the complete list of supported standards. The books were not designed to follow Common Core; but do so because they were written to be quality resources.

My newest workbook, Ten Divided by Five Is Not Five, helps students remember division facts. It is based on the relationship between multiplication and division. If children can show what multiplication facts such as 4 x 3 means, and be able to draw a picture or explain how to figure out the answer to a word problem such as the following, then they are ready to learn and memorize division facts.
There are 12 children. The teacher wants 4 children to sit at each round table. How many tables are needed?
This new workbook is divided into six sections. Each section first reviews a set of multiplication facts. 8 x 7
The next page has missing factor problems. 7 x ___ = 56
Then the students are given pages of division problems, mixed division and multiplication, and a word math page.
