multiplication helpers are interactive flashcards, printable and interactive
worksheets, and (my personal favorite) PDF Worksheet Generator. To access the
PDF Worksheet Generator, click Worksheets, and look near the bottom of the page

Helping At Home
Parents often ask how they can help their children with mathematics at home. Good questions -- and good listening -- will help your children make sense of mathematics, build their confidence, and encourage mathematical thinking and communication. A good question opens up a problem and supports different ways of thinking about it. Here are some you might try. Notice that none of them can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no."
Getting Started in Solving Mathematics Problems
What do you know now?
What do you need to find out?
How might you begin?
While Working on a Mathematics Problem
How can you organize your information?
Can you make a drawing (model) to explain your thinking?
Are there other possibilities?
What would happen if . . . ?
Can you describe the approach (strategy) you're developing to solve this?
What do you need to do next?
Do you see any patterns? Relationships?
Can you make a prediction?
Why did you . . . ?
What assumptions are you making?
Reflecting About the Solution to the Problem
Is your solution (conclusion) reasonable?
How did you arrive at your answer?
Can you convince me your solutions make sense?
What did you try that didn't work?
Responding to how we Solved the Problem
Why do you think that?
Tell me more?
Can you explain it in a different way?
Is there another possibility?
