Tips on how to learn multiplication tables?
Im about to head into the sixth grade, and I'm struggling with math, The only multiplication I memorized is 2's 5's and 10's , I didn't even repeat them AT ALL in third grade. We started in the last weeks of school and I was okay then, but when I got into fourth grade everything came as a huge shock. We jumped right into things and everyone else seemed to know alot while I was completely oblivious to everything. And then we learned division and it was hard to keep up, my grades dropped dramatically. In fifth grade we learned quick division and I dont remember anything. Except for the ) and line above that. I don't even remember what side the numbers should be on. I got C's on my math tests barely passing fifth grade, and my teacher made things hard on me since I'm "gifted". I had to stay in for recess to catch up with work. I had work for multiplying by 10,000 and dividing by he same and I failed that test. I had no idea what it did and I spent five recesses on it. It's only two days before sixth grade and I don't really think I have a chance of passing. Help!

Multiplication tables are just a simple way to add more quickly. Write your time tables daily: all 12 of them. repeat them aloud daily: all 12 of them. Note that if you add the 1st number in the time table to the most recent product you get the answer to the next time table. For example: 7x8 = 56. 7 is the 1st number, 56 is the most recent product derived from multiplying 7 x 8. Add 7 to the product of 56 and you get the answer for the next timetable: 7 x 9 = 63 or (56 +7). Again add 7 to 63 and you get 70 or (7 x 10). So 7 x 11 is the same as 70 + 7 etc. You can do this with any of the time tables. I hope this helps. Memorizing also helps exercise the brain so it does not hurt to memorize the tables. I'm 61 and as a child we were required to memorize all 12 time tables. My mother made us repeat them when we got home from school as a daily recitation.

I particularly have a level in math and that i **not in any respect** afflicted to learn the multiplication tables. No experience memorizing what you could determine out right now as that you may. in case you could double, triple, and upload small numbers, you could multiply right now on your head!
