Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is imperative that your child master their multiplication facts. Quick recall of these
facts will allow your child to complete tasks in math more quickly and with greater ease.
Attached you will find pages that contain multiplication fact flash cards from 0-12 to help
assist in this process.
Recommended Organization
Cut out the 13 multiplication facts for one multiplication set at a time (0’s-12’s). Begin with the 0’s.
Lightly, and in pencil, write the answer to the multiplication facts on the back of the flash cards. I have
attached a multiplication chart for reference, if needed. Following this, stack and paperclip the
flashcards together. Complete this process for the remaining multiplication sets (1’s-12’s).
Mastery of multiplication facts is accomplished through memorization. In order to
memorize their multiplication facts, your child needs exposure to them on a daily basis at
home. This is accomplished by practicing them! It is recommended that your child practice
their multiplication facts at home for at least fifteen minutes every day while following the
Recommended Practice guidelines provided below. The best practice is usually done
while working with a family member, rather than the child practicing their multiplication
facts on their own.
Recommended Practice
Practice one set of multiplication facts at a time. Start at the beginning with the 0’s set. Once one set is
mastered, move on to the next set of multiplication facts. Practice them until they are mastered. Do
this until you have completed each of the thirteen sets of multiplication facts (0’s-12’s). I have a
provided a chart for you to record your child’s progress (see attached). The purpose of its use is to
motivate your child throughout the process.
Thank you, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions!
