As for multiplication, take two dice, and a sheet of paper, on whose left side you list, vertically, all the possible products. They will run from 1-36, or higher when you go to a game store and buy dice with higher numbers. Play a game in which people toss the dice in turn, and mark the sheet with a slash next to the product each time. The game is over when every product has a slashmark. A distribution pattern emerges which is interesting, and it can take some time until the very last product has a slash.
Division is another kettle of fish.
