The best way to help children remember facts is to make it memorable. Use things ideas and concrete objects that are meaningful. All children learn differently so you may have to try a handfull of methods before you find the best one for her. Repitition is also a great way to help remember facts.

have you tried using triangles cut out of paper?
just put the large number at the top and the two smaller ones at the lower corners that may help her tie together the subtraction facts with the addion. If you put 3,6,9 on a paper 3+6=9 and 9-6=3 and 9-3=6

A child who is gifted or talented in one area still may have weaknesses in other areas. There's a point where force-feeding math facts needs to be tapered off and other strategies need to be tried. Touch point math is a very effective method for some students who have trouble memorizing facts. There are probably several internet resources for this, and you can probably ask a teacher at your child's school to show you the technique.

Putting math facts to music works well for many children; you can purchase CD's with songs to help. We've also had great success with "Wrap Up's", which you can get online. It's a nifty little device that uses fine motor movement to help with memorization.
The most important thing, however, is to make sure your child understands the concept of subtraction.

he should pratice more such facts. subtraction facts are not to be rembered. he should do the same sums again and again.
