Tips for learning the multiplication table:

* It is recommended to use the word “times” instead of the word “double”. For example, instead of saying “five times three” say “five times three”. This wording reminds us of the essence of the operation and helps to move from multiplication to addition in solving the exercise.

* The order of the terms in a multiplication exercise is not important and does not change the result, but the order determines the appropriate addition exercise, and sometimes one order is easier to calculate than the opposite order. Therefore, reverse the order of the members in the exercise if it helps to calculate it more easily. For example, “7 times 5” is easier to calculate than “5 times 7”.

* Use your fingers. Raise as many fingers as one number that appears in the exercise and count all the fingers you raised several times according to the second number in the exercise. For example, in the 6×4 exercise, lift 4 fingers and count them 6 times or lift 6 fingers and count them 4 times.
