How to Make Multiplication Books With Stickers

Multiplication is an essential elementary math skill, but it can be rote and difficult for many students. Hands-on activities are an effective way to encourage children to take part in their learning, as well as remember the information they have learned. You can make multiplication books with your students using stickers and papers as one way to instill multiplication concepts, while also allowing them to enjoy their learning time.
