How do you get your child to learn and understand the multiplication table?

Answer 1

If ya use visual stimulation it works really good. Such as pennies,beans and my kids fave m&m's!!!!

Answer 2

First off, the child has to completely understand the concept of addition because multiplication is, in essence, *ADDING the number as many times as is stated by the multiplication fact (Ex. 2 x 2 = 4, add the # 2 two times).

My 8 yr old daughter started her multiplication facts at school this year. What I did at home was make her a multiplication chart/table. On the left side, going down, I had numbers 1 to 12. Going across the top (from left to right) for the columns were numbers 1 to 12. I then filled in the numbers in the rows/columns accordingly.

Once the main idea of multiplication (*see above) is understood, knowing multiplication facts mainly becomes a product of memorization, so... practice by saying multiplication facts over and over and over again.

Answer 3

Use a visual and hands-on concept. Use markers of some sort and teach multiplication using the array method. It works like this: a 2*5 array wll have two markers down, and five arcoss on a grid like this:

* * * * *
* * * * *
now count the array by two's 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. 2*5=10

Work the entire table this way.

I also suggest you use a number grid to count. On one grid, count by twos and circle all the numers you count in red. Next, count by threes and circle those numbers in yellow. Count by fives and circle those in green. The child will be able to see how 2*3=6 and 2*5=10 because of where the counts match up.

Teach the multiplication table as a reference tool. All it is a numerical array.

Answer 4

Is he sturdy at addition? try grouping issues in 2's and then counting by making use of two's to assist him get the theory. Then paintings on the 5's and the ten's. This facilitates coach the seen multiplication. Then paintings on studying to county by making use of three's , etc. After he gets the tables down somewhat properly, you could play a activity by making use of rolling cube or making use of a deck of enjoying cards. you each and every and each draw 2 enjoying cards, multiply them and whoever has the better answer wins all 4 enjoying cards. With the cube, you will get loopy cube that pass as much as twelve. Roll 2 of them, multiply, and count selection out that quantity of money in substitute. This facilitates learn counting funds on the comparable time. Whoever has the main funds on the tip of 10 minutes wins the activity. then you definately can shorten the time cut back on account that forces the youngster to pass speedier to attempt to get extra funds.
