Multiplication Using Number Line Lite version

Ce programme utilise la droite numérique pour aider l'élève à comprendre la multiplication

This program uses the number line to help the student understand multiplication. For instance, if the problem is 6 x 2 =?, the program will tell the student to Start at 0 and count 2 spaces to the right. Click on the last number you reached. (We call this a “jump”) Now start at the last number you reached, and make more jumps until you have 6 jumps. Then click the “Done” button. The answer (12) moves up into the missing space in the number statement, and the program voice says “six times two is twelve.”
