5. Free Math worksheets on Mathdrills.com. Summer is a great time to increase your kids speed and confidence with multiplication. Mathdrills.com has lots of great Math worksheets that you can print for free. The site is easy to navigate. Two things I love in the multiplication area: the blank multiplication table that your kids can fill in, and the “Five Minute Frenzy”, with pages of 10 x 10 grids for fast practice: kids have to complete each chart in less than five minutes. Once your kids have the speed down, there are a lot of problem worksheets you can print. Fast, fun, and Frugal!
