The small multiplication table as a challenge. Mastering the small multiplication table is a significant challenge for many students with special educational needs. This means practicing, practicing, practicing. But how can you, as a teacher, provide your students with variety beyond the same old routine? Mandalas for calculating and relaxing. This can be achieved, for example, with one of the 20 simple and motivating math mandalas from this booklet. Students practice solving multiplication problems in a playful way while working on the mandalas. In addition to their math skills, they simultaneously train their concentration, endurance, and hand-eye coordination. Moreover, coloring the mandalas has a calming and relaxing effect. With the help of the colored solution pages, students can also independently check if they calculated correctly.
