Question

I am the smartest in my class but I can't think of any ways to remember my timestables plz help me to learn them

Answer 1

Buy an audio tape with learn tables to music. It will stick in yer brain easier when you have a tune to memorise them by.

Answer 2

There's really nothing you can do except to memorize them. Sorry! I used flash cards when I learned them in 2nd grade.

If you can memorize from 1 times 1 up to 5 times 5, there's a neat way to do from 6 times 6 up to 10 times 10, but it's probably easier just to memorize.

If you're interested, though, here's how it works:

1. Represent each finger numerically as 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. (e.g. your thumb is 6, your forefinger is 7, your main finger is 8, etc)

2. Cross the fingers representing the numbers you're multiplying on each hand, and do the same for all the numbers lower than them. (for example, if you're multiplying 7 x 8, cross the first three fingers of your right hand with the first two finger of your left hand)

3. All the crossed fingers represent 10's. Add the number of crossed fingers.

4. Multiply together the uncrossed fingers on each hand and add it to the sum of the crossed fingers (which represented 10's, remember)

So, if we're multiplying 7 x 8, you have two fingers crossed over three fingers. That is (2 + 3) x 10 = 50. The uncrossed fingers are multiplied and equal 3 x 2 = 6. The final solution is 50 + 6 = 56, which is the solution to 7 x 8. It's easier to do than it is to describe.

Personally I think memorizing is easier though.

Answer 3

Ok, There are several different ways to do this. The best way that I have found is by taking them from one number at a time. Start with 1, 2, 3, the move up from there all the way up to 12. Write them on a flash card, and every week or sooner or later, depending on how long it takes you to learn them move on to the next number. And as you move on to the next number, also keep the previous numbers in the deck so you can review them so you don't forget them. After you have reached 12, then review them for a week. Then skip a week. Then the following week review them again to make sure that you know them. And if you cant remember a couple of them, then review them until you do. It also helps to do this either with a friend, family member, or teacher. Good luck!

Answer 4

Back in the 70's and 80's there were videos played between shows on ABC's saturday morning cartoon lineup called, "Schoolhouse Rock." There was a song for every number from 0 through 12. They helped me memorize the times talbles.

I found alot of them on Morpheous in MP3 format. Search Schoolhouse Rock on ask.com and maybe you'll find more?

Good luck! Hope this helps!

Answer 5

There is only one way to learn times tables and that is to memorize them. First start with the easy ones like counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. Then go to the 3's, 4's, 6's, and so forth. It takes time to memorize them but once you know them you will never forget.

Answer 6

look up the chart online and make flash cards. look over all the '1 TIMES TABLES' everynight for half an hour before bed for a week. during the second week, do the '2 TIMES TABLES' and so on =] you'll have them down in about 3 months PERFECTLY

Answer 7

You must not have practiced as much as you should have back in 3rd grade when they were supposed to have been learned.

Don't use tricks...just your brain. And memorize them. Which means you need to sit down and practice. Have your mom or dad quiz you.

My daughter in 4th grade knows hers cold, but I am always quizzing her...in the car, at night, while skiing, etc.

Knowing your times tables is one step to success, then you need to learn and understand fractions, and you are home-free.

Answer 8

Try to memorize the easy ones. Make a copy and hang it somewhere in your room where you go alot. Test yourself on the hard ones. Yoou'll memorize the whole thing after a while.

Answer 9

Flash cards.

Answer 10

It's very old fashioned now, but you do it parrot fashion.
