Experience Long Multiplication on the iPod or iPhone
My oldest kid has been struggling with long multiplications for a while. We have been practising and practising. Doing the traditional way on paper is ok but nothing really exciting. He is so reluctant to do it. Thanks to the iPod, it all changed few weeks ago when I downloaded theLong Multiplication App for the iPod or iPhone.
Don’t expect your kids to go crazy and be like “thank you so much mum for this app” ... it is still straight forward math and needs to be introduced as a help and support tool to the process of learning long multiplication. We work it out at during homework time and it does wonders, my son actually enjoys doing long multiplication, it is a nice break.
