Multiplication Using Multiplication Table

Click on “Multiplication Using Multiplication Table” and then click the “Enter” button to open this program. An incomplete number statement (for instance, 2 x 3 = ) appears at top of the screen. The program tells the student to click on the first number (2) which is highlighted in red in the left column, and then to click on the second number (3) which is highlighted in green in the top row. The answer (6) now gets a blue highlight, and the program tells the student to click on the answer. The answer moves up into the missing space in the number statement, and the program voice says “two times three is six.”
