I'll try and do my best to help. The times table goes up to 12.
1. The good news is you should know your 1, 2, 5, 10 and 11. If not just repeat it over and over using your fingers. So the 5s you should know is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, etc. and use your fingers to show what it is multiplied by. Do the same with 2s (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc).
2. Now work on the doubles: 3*3, 4*4, 6*6, 7*7, 8*8, 9*9, 12*12 and memorize these!
3. Then all you need to do is figure out the rest, but remember there are a lot of repeats. So if you learn all the 3s then when you move to the 4s you already know 4*3 or when you move to the 6s, you know 6*3. Trust me there will be a lot of repeats so there won't be that much to learn. Like 6*7 and 7*6 or 8*9 or 9*8.
4. Finally a side issue, when you do the 9s, all the answers will add up to nine except 9*1. So 9*2 is 72 and 7+2 is 9, 9*3 is 27 and 2+7 is 9. get it?
I have to say when I learned the table I just spent a lot of time with each one. Spend like 30 minutes a day learning each column. So start with the 3s and then work your way up each day.
Good luck with all of this! Once you learn it, you'll know it forever!

Many things are easier if you understand them rather than memorize them.
For example, it is easy to remember that 5 x 10 is 50. It might be more difficult to remember that 5 x 9 is 45. If it helps, consider finding 5 x 9 by subtracting 5 from 5 x 10.
Another example, what is 4 x 14?
4 x 14 is equal to 4 x (10 + 4)
4 x 14 is the same thing as 4 x 10 added to 4 x 4
4 x 10 = 40 , 4 x 4 = 16 add them together and 4 x 14 = 56

Well, it is a matter of pure memorization. But you can remember a few of them and work from there...The fives are easiest--because the results are like counting by five--1x5=5, 2x5=10, 3x5=15 and so forth. Remember also that anything times 9 is like 10 times the number minus the number, so 9x9 is 81, thats the same as 10 x 9 is 90, minus 9= 81. Try rhyming them too--6x6 is 36 sort of rolls off the tongue. Also try learning just a couple at a time...learn the sixes one week, then concentrate on the sevens and so forth....have somebody make up or buy flash cards and let them test you from time to time--repetition makes for remembering them....

It's alright. My daughter just finally got hers memorized and she's in fifth grade. Her teacher sent her home multiplication worksheets that she had to do every day until she had them down. If she didn't do the worksheets, she would work on flash cards. Maybe someone can flash them for you or you can find a website online that has multiplication games. Good luck

It's just like addition. Say you have the equation 6 x 4=?
All you have to do is take the first number (6) and add it (4) times. 6 x 4=? is just another way of saying 6+6+6+6=?
So, if 6+6+6+6= 24, then 6 x 4 must equal 24!
Hope this makes sense. E-mail me if you still need help!

It is easy. You just take the number and write it out like so.
If you have 5x6.
You would just write 5 down 6 times and add it together like so.
5+5+5+5+5+5
and then add them together like so.
5+5+5+5+5+5 = 30
5x6 = 30
Or you can get a multiplication table fromyour teacher and just write the table down over and over and eventually you will remember it. Good luck.

Worked for me and now I have a job in financial industry. Write down your multiplication tables - say to 20, ten times each.

Start with one group, really study that one group and then add more as you get them all memorized.
For example, start with 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x5. Practice saying them. Practice writing them. Have someone say the problem, and you say the answers. Then once, you have those down, work on 2x6, 2x7, 2x8, 2x9 and 2x10. Keep piling them on till you have them all.
Good luck
