Multiples Songs and Chants for 3,4,6,7,8,11,12, and 15

These are the times tables songs and chants that I use in my class to teach students their times tables. As they sing/chant, they hold up their fingers to show what they are multiplying by. Then, when they get stuck on a multiplication problem, they go through their song on their fingers until they get to their answer.

Please note that I am NOT a singer, so these files are just a model of some tunes you can use in your own classroom to teach multiplication (hopefully you and your students will be doing the singing).

I also put these on CDs and gave them out to my students at the end of 2nd grade to practice over the summer. It really helped prepare them for multiplication in the beginning of 3rd grade.

Please note that I have not included 5s and 10s because of their easy skip counting patterns that students usually pick up on at young age. I also did not make a song for 9s, because our students use the finger trick (look at your fingers and count from the left the number you're multiplying 9 by; put that finger down so the fingers to the left are the 10s place and the fingers to the right are the ones place for your product).
