Multiplication Table is a multi stage game that introduces children to basic mathematical activities that will accompany them throughout their lives in a simple, fun and friendly manner.

Children as young as 3 who identify colors can begin assembling the puzzle and, while doing so, learn and practice the multiplication table.

The game board is divided into 100 rectangular settings, highlighted vertically and horizontally by ten different colors. Each of the numbers (multiplier and multiplicand) will carry a color of its own.

For each product (result of multiplication) appearing on the board, there is a unique combination of two colors, which distinguish it from the other numbers. The solver, who assembles the puzzle, notices the two colors and places the piece with the product in the correct space.
The correct answers appear on the other side of the puzzle board without the cues  (colors), enabling one to monitor the child's progress. Once the children learn the multiplication table and no longer require the colors in order to find the solution, they can turn over the puzzle board and solve the multiplication table.
In addition, the puzzle can be used to learn division. The puzzle kit contains a 90 degree angle with rectangular window. When placing the angle window on one of the numbers, its sides will point to the quotients.

Summary:

Stage I: Introducing the colors and identifying numbers between 1 - 10

Stage II: Learning and practicing multiplication by combining colors

Stage III: Learning and memorizing the products without colors

Stage IV: Solving the multiplication table without color cues (opposite rectangles)

Stage V: Developing the use of the angle in order to perform and memorize division exercises

Additional advantages:

1. Toddlers – developing coordination, joining the fingers of both hands horizontally and vertically, based on the colors appearing in the appropriate space.

2. Advanced stage – Addition, subtraction counting in steps of: 7, 14, 21 – back and forth, etc.

3. Developing automatic calculation abilities, which transform all of the chain exercise with equal addends into a multiplication exercises: 9+9+9+9=4X9.
