Need ideas/lessons for mult.& problem solving

[luv2teach4]

Any great ideas, favorite lessons etc. on teaching multiplication and problem solving strategies?

I like Marilyn Burns' book on multiplication in her "Math by all means" series (tho' I'm not sure of the title right now). It's prob'ly at your Barnes & Noble & you could cruise in and grab a few ideas on the way by even if you didn't want to buy it :-)

Problem Solving

I have a great problem solving program that I use with my students.

Solving Word Problems with Pictures

PCI educational publishing

I have been using this program with my students and have seen such great progress. It really teaches the students how to break story problems down to determine what operation is needed and how to solve it correctly.

Can't Find It

I went to PCI Publishing's site & could not find this book. http://www.pcicatalog.com/ Any suggestions?
Do you have an ISBN number?
The book sounds very good. Thanks.
