Why is it hard to remember the multiplication and division facts?
Some students do not understand what multiplication and division really mean. They try to memorize and apply things they have not experienced and do not understand.

With this book, students build fluency the same way we remember our way around a new city: we drive around, a lot, look around, notice where things are, and gradually develop familiarity, confidence, and ability.
Watch our podcasts, "The MLS Number Line" and "Soccer Teams" to see how MLS graphics enable students to experience an amount sense, develop fluency without rote memorization, and experience the three basic concepts of multiplication:
* How many groups?
* How many in each group?
* How many altogether?

Keyed to the new California State Intervention Standards
* Built on the documented success of its predecessor in
raising student achievement scores
What Your Colleagues Say
"Our school in ABC School District (Los Angeles area) identified a number of sixth-graders who tested below 25% accuracy on basic multiplication/division, despite their teachers' best efforts. We worked with CNR two or three hours a week for sixteen weeks, and a teacher measured the results as a focus for her master's thesis. At the conclusion of the study, every child achieved 93% or above accuracy.
