Multimalin Tables de Multiplic - A Fun and Effective Way to Learn Multiplication Tables
Multimalin Tables de Multiplic is an educational game designed to help children learn multiplication tables in a fun and engaging way. Developed by Protin Matthieu, this Android application is free to download and use.
The program has received positive testimonials from journalists on television and radio, who have seen firsthand the effectiveness of Multimalin. By using innovative techniques inspired by the mental strategies of memory champions, the app transforms each multiplication into a short animated story. These stories help children associate numbers with memorable images, making it easier for them to remember the results of each multiplication.
Multimalin is suitable for children aged 7 to 10, as well as older children who need to catch up on memorizing certain tables. It is also effective for children with learning difficulties, including dyslexia, dysphasia, and dyscalculia. The app caters to both visual and auditory learners.
The learning process is structured and progressive, starting with an evaluation to identify the tables that need to be learned. Children then engage in memorizing the mental images through entertaining animated videos. Interactive games and quizzes provide opportunities for practice, and a championship mode allows children to test their knowledge against others. Finally, a final evaluation assesses the progress made.
With its simple, effective, and enjoyable approach, Multimalin reduces the number of multiplications to be memorized by applying the principle of commutativity. For example, 8x7 is the same as 7x8 and is represented by a single image. The consistent use of specific images for each number also aids in memorization.
Created by a primary school teacher, Matthieu Protin, Multimalin has already been embraced by over 80,000 families, 3,000 schools, and 1,000 speech therapists since its release in 2012.
