Alright... even as I sit here typing,
my computer desk is cluttered with multiplication flashcards.

I'm thinking... isn't there a better way?
Isn't there a way to help kids learn multiplication without the mess?
... without losing any of the cards?

Yes there is! At The Pointy Pencil, we have a great tool
for teaching/reinforcing multiplication.

It's a spinner...

A problem solved... and for under $10!

A quote from the manufacturer:

"Here’s a fun new twist on the traditional flash cards. Each set comes with 13 self-checking spinners covering facts 0–12. The facts are displayed in a random order. Supports NCTM standards."

New Hats!

If you stop in to The Pointy Pencil,
you might spot an angry pirate or a friendly werewolf...

or...
girls wearing hats topped with pigs that fly.
(If you pull the cord, the wings go up and down).

Maybe they're wearing those because that's
when their mother will allow them to date...
(when pigs fly).

Hee-hee.
