MathMovements The Day My Brain Multiplied

By: Milton Garrick

Jalen is smart, funny, and creative.

But when it comes to multiplication... he feels stuck.

In a vibrant classroom and a neighborhood full of life, Jalen struggles to understand times

tables that just don't seem to make sense. While his classmates, Malyn and Zara, begin to

catch on, Jalen starts to wonder if math just isn't for him-until his teacher, Mr. G, shows him

something unexpected.

From the basketball court to everyday moments, Jalen discovers that multiplication isn't just

something you memorize-it's something you can see, feel, and understand.

Perfect for students in grades 2-3, this fun and relatable story highlights a critical turning

point: mastering multiplication in the 3rd grade often shapes whether students begin to enjoy

math or avoid it. It also builds the confidence and foundation needed for long-term academic

success, including the path toward college and future opportunities.

You're not bad at math...

you just haven't seen it the right way yet.
