Each year, the struggle is real with multiplication. It doesn’t matter if I’m teaching 4th, 5th, or 6th – my students seem to need more practice, new ways of learning, resources for repetition, etc. After five years in the upper grades, I’ve compiled a list of multiplication resources for upper elementary.
I’ve used all of the following resources, videos, books, etc. in my own classroom.

Videos
First of all, I like to use VideoLink to link to all of the videos I use in my classroom. It ensures I don’t have any ads popping up before or during the video I’m showing – and it takes away the comments and other videos that come up on the sidebar.
