what is the easiest way to learn times tables?

We Answered:

A short study session every day works well for memorization. You could buy two 12-sided dice, roll them both, and try to compute the product in your head. Then you could check your answer with a chart.

Viola Said:

When learning times tables do you need to learn them to a point where the answers are instant?

We Answered:

I think that "instant" is the point. If you need 5 seconds' thinking time, you have not learnt them properly.

Marc Said:

does anyone know how to make times tables easier to learn?

We Answered:

i would suggest you encourage her to look for patterns in the answers of different tables
for example, see the table of nine
notice products are arranged

09
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
81
90

first column (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - 2nd column (9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0)

other example: table of 8
08
16
24
32
40
48
56
64
72
80
notice the 1st column (not totally organized but almost: 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8) - 2nd column (start with eight, then subtract by 2, you get the sequence: 8,6,4,2,0,8,6,4,2,0........)

not all tables are that organized, and are just not worth memorizing, but knowing the easy ones can help
another example: table of 6 [pretty unruly example]
06
12
18
24
30
36
42
48
54
60
first column is a bit disarranged (but can be guessed, after a fashion) while second column has a pattern of (6,2,8,4,0,6,2,8,4,0........ all over again)

Also, looking for patterns. 1 x 1 endsin 1. So does 9 x 9. 2x2 and 8 x 8 both end in 4. What's going on?
