Multiplication seems like such a simple topic to teach: we show our students a few examples, like 6 plates of 5 cookies, and next thing you know, we're moving on to memorizing the multiplication facts. Bad Idea. Multiplication is one of the trickiest topics we teach in mathematics, and the things we leave out mean that our students will pay later when they struggle with topics like ratio, proportion and other types of problem solving in their later years. You must prevent this from happening, a
