Check the guide that lays out a series of visual clusters that will guide the students to the correct answers for the entire time’s table up to and including 12. If the child is comfortable, let them do the four groups at once. Once they have studied the four related drawings and have made the appropriate story, let them demonstrate their learning either to you or to themselves. Once they understand this learning system and believe they know it, let them check their mastery of the material. Let them sing, dance act or whatever. If they can get the math facts into their head and even enjoy the process, they will begin to experience pride at their accomplishments.
 

Collect Fun Points

A friend of the family survived a life threatening injury. He was never going to completely recover so the doctor told him he had a choice: he could either be sad, or he could choose to be happy every day. His solution was to collect fun points. He made a game of being happy. He gave points for every enjoyable period of the day. Try to instill this search for joy in this approach to learning the times’ tables.

When the children are trying to retrieve the simple math facts using the image clusters, don’t require that they have to be sitting down at a desk to demonstrate their learning. Let them demonstrate their grasp of the times’ table facts by using multiple intelligences. Let them draw the pictures, tell the story, dramatize the action, or even turn the events into a jingle or song.

See if they can collect fun points while transferring these math facts to their long-term memory.
