We found that we sometimes got confused about the order of steps in longer multiplication problems. It wasn't the numbers that confused them, but the pattern of solving it. So, we picked our sidewalk chalk and I made a numberless problem on the concrete. The kids then hopped the pattern when I told them where to go. Here's what it looked like.
The colors are a little difficult to see, but they coordinate with the answer.
Not every adult that saw this was impressed, but they aren't teaching this to my bouncy children.
