How do you teach multiplication?

First, be sure that they understand the purpose of multiplication, and what it is -- basically a fast way to add like numbers several times. Then practice using flashcards.

You can use physical objects, say blocks. Have your children lay out five blocks in a row and repeat this for three more rows under that. Ask them to count the number of blocks in a column and then in a row. Tell them we are learning 5x4 and have them count all the blocks to learn there are 20.
