Recently I have posted about how I have been using You Tube videos to give students a movement break or during transition times.  I tend to choose songs that the kids can get up and dance or move around to.  It has really helped the last few weeks as kids have been spending less time outside due to the weather.  I have also shared my favorite videos for coins, counting and shapes, area and perimeter and telling time.

Today I want to share with you some of my favorite You Tube videos for learning multiplication facts.  You might also be interested in my favorite math literature about multiplication.  

Uptown Funk Parody

This video is very unique!  It is about the conceptual idea of multiplication being groups of equal things and the vocabulary of multiplication.  It has a catchy tune that kids love to use for brain breaks.

Multiples Fred

My students of all ages love the 5 minute Fit with Fred videos and I use them often for movement breaks and transitions.  They have also saved my sanity on weeks of below zero temperatures and indoor recess.  This one incorporates activity and practice counting by various numbers.  It is also a great workout and will get your heart pumping!

3 Times Tables

Shows skip counting by 3 and multiplying by 3.  This You Tube Channel also has great songs and videos for all the other numbers up to 12.  You can go here to see them all!

This clever teacher has done several parodies of very popular songs to help kids learn important topics.  There are more being added every month but many of the multiplication facts have fun songs to go along with them.  You can go here to see all these songs and more!

I am  finding You Tube videos/songs for multiplication are always evolving and improving.  Please leave any recommendations in the comments below!  If one of the above videos is no longer working, please let me know in the comments below!
