4,500 Multiplication Problems with Answers Practice Workbook: Improve Your Math Fluency Series: Volume 15

AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.

EXAMPLES: Each section begins with a couple of annotated examples to illustrate how to solve the problems.

ANSWERS: An answer section at the back provides a complete answer key. It’s important for students to practice solving problems correctly, otherwise they will practice their mistakes. Students, parents, or teachers should use the answer key to help students check their answers.

CONTENTS: This practice book is designed to help students develop proficiency with their multiplication skills by offering ample practice. Computer-generated answers have been included at the back of the workbook so that students, parents, or teachers may quickly check the results of their solutions. There is plenty of space for students to write their solutions. This book is conveniently divided up into six parts:

• Part 1 reviews the fundamental multiplication facts between single-digit factors since swift knowledge of these is critical toward multiplication mastery.
• Parts 2 and 3 are limited to single-digit numbers times multi-digit numbers. This way students are not challenged with too much too soon.
• Part 4 involves double-digit numbers times double-digit numbers.
• Part 5 involves double-digit numbers times triple-digit numbers.
• Part 6 involves triple-digit multiplication.
• An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook.
• A multiplication table is provided to help students who are just learning their multiplication facts.

PRACTICE: This is a practice workbook geared toward practicing problem-solving skills. As such, it consists of worksheets with practice problems in the spirit of old-fashioned practice sheets. This is suitable for students who need to practice basic skills, and is effective for many students. It is not one of the modern math textbooks that are designed to entertain bored students.

PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.
