Rocket Times Γ— Γ·

Multiplication and division are the SAME thing β€” come see why!
πŸ’‘ The one big secret: 3 Γ— 4 and 4 Γ— 3 are the same rectangle turned sideways β€” and 12 Γ· 3 just asks β€œ3 Γ— what = 12?” Learn one fact, get four free.

Count the dots one row at a time β€” that's skip counting. Now press Flip it! β€” same dots, same answer, sideways rectangle. That's why you only need to learn HALF the times tables.

For grown-ups β€” the order that works: don't go 1β†’12. Go 1, 10, 2, 5 (nearly free) β†’ 4 (double, then double again) β†’ 9 (finger trick; digits of the answer sum to 9) β†’ 3, 6 (6 = the 5s answer plus one more group) β†’ 11 (repeat the digit up to 9Γ—11) β†’ 8 (double three times) β†’ 12 (the 10s answer + the 2s answer) β†’ 7 last. After turnarounds and tricks, only ~15 stubborn facts remain (6Γ—7, 7Γ—8, 6Γ—8, 7Γ—7 and friends) β€” drill exactly those in Mix mode.

Division is not a new subject. Keep saying β€œ12 Γ· 3 asks: 3 times what makes 12?” The Missing Number game is the bridge β€” it looks like multiplication and thinks like division. If she can do that game, she can divide.

Session recipe: 5 minutes Explore (build 3 rectangles, flip them), one table in Learn, one 10-question game. Stop while it's still fun. Stars reset on reload β€” they're today's score, and that's fine. When she clears a game 10/10 twice, move up a table.
