You really only need to go up to the 12 table so start with the easy ones and know them inside and out before you move up to the fives and higher.
Try this, walk down the street and ask any adult [that isn't talking on a cell phone … LOL .. good luck] what 3 x 12 is and they'll give you a puzzled look. When you are learning the threes table you are essentially knocking off some work for yourself later one. 3 x 12 is the same as 12 x 3 so when you get to the 12s table most of the memorizing is already done if you did a thorough job with the other tables.
There are math games you can play online as well as video games like RayMan for the PS, it all comes down to memorizing them in a way that works best for you. If you can get these basics under your belt now, learning more advanced math later will be a piece of cake.
Good luck!

Write them out in a 12 by 12 array. You should have the well known square multiplication table.
Link:
http://math2.org/math/general/multiplytable.htm
Draw a line from the top left hand corner to the lower right hand corner. This divides the square into two identical tringles. Notice both contain the same multiples. This is because multiplication is cummutative. What does all this mean? It means you only have to remember half the table and the ones you drew the line through.
Example: 2×6 = 6×2
Notice one triangle contains 2×6 while the other side contains 6×2.
The line contains:
0×0=0
1×1=1
2×2=4
3×3=9
..........
12×12=144

Simply say it over and over.
Four times four is sixteen.
Four times five is twenty.
Four times six is twenty-four.
Rap it out with your foot if you want, but the thing about memorization, or 'rote' learning, is that it is done by sheer repetition until the fact is pounded into your brain. Unhappily, there are no shortcuts.
There were some interesting experiments tried a few years ago whereby the information was recorded on a tape and played over and over while the subject was asleep and that seemed to help. But it isn't easy to do. Especially if you share a room with someone who isn't interested in learning multiplication tables!

I was taught this clever trick for multiplication of numbers between 5 and 10.
Take the two numbers say 7 and 8
subtract 5 from each of them
This gives 2 and 3
On your left hand hold out 2 fingers and on your right hand hold out 3 fingers.
Add the total number of fingers together - this gives 5
Turn your hands over and multiply the number of fingers on your left hand (3) by the number of fingers on your right hand (2) this gives 6.
Here is the multiple of 7 x 8 = 5 * 10 + 6 = 56

recite them over and over every morning, starting with 3x tables to 12x tables. believe me, you will remember them for life!
say "8 ones are 8, 8 two's are 16" etc
