The Learning Resources Rainbow Multiplication Board transforms math practice into an engaging experience with its colorful 13×13 grid covering multiplication facts from 0×0 to 12×12. Color-coded in vibrant hues, this hands-on tool helps children ages 7+ recognize number patterns and is ideal for visual and kinesthetic learners in grades 2-4. It offers multiple approaches including self-checking exercises, competitive games between friends racing to place tiles correctly, and independent practice where children verify answers by lifting tiles.

Parents, teachers, and homeschoolers report that previously resistant children eagerly choose this board over flashcards and worksheets. Many reviewers note improvements in their children's math confidence with regular use, as multiplication facts become second nature through play. Whether used in classrooms, homeschool environments, or for supplemental practice, the complete set includes the board, all tiles, storage bag, and an activity guide with suggested games that transform tedious math drilling into an enjoyable skill-building experience.
