Multiplication squares can be very useful for helping us to learn multiplication! To help understand how they work, put together this multiplication square jigsaw. HINT: It will help you a lot if you use multiplication to work out which numbers go where! You can cut out the pieces and stick them on the empty square attached to this sheet, or go to to do it on the computer. If you use a computer, print it off and stick it in your book at the end.
