Illustrated by
Harry Briggs.
An emphasis on conceptual strategies over rote memorization combines with clearly modeled examples and crisp, digitally created illustrations for a fresh take on teaching multiplication. Pairs of rhyming couplets describe techniques, like doubling and repeated addition, for the factors zero to ten. Sample problems are followed by challenges for the reader.
