In the first video, you’ll see how my clever first grader began her multiplication journey using paper and pencil to draw circles for the multiplicand and placing marbles inside to represent the multiplier. This hands-on, visual method helped her build a solid conceptual foundation of what multiplication truly means.

Fast forward to the second video, and you’ll witness her growth in action! She now confidently solves multiplication problems using the finger bridge and folding technique, a strategy I introduced to help her work faster, smarter, and more independently. 🙌💪
