- 1). Practice multiplication facts that have answers that rhyme with the second number being multiplied. Examples include:
6 x 4 = 24
6 x 6 = 36
6 x 8 = 48
Say these facts and answers out loud for best results. - 2). Recite common multiplication facts in a rhyme. Columbia Education Center suggests creating a clever phrase to help you remember a fact, such as: "Seven times seven is 49 -- you are cool, you are fine!"
- 3). Incorporate the numbers into a small story. This gives the numbers meaning, amplifying learning further. Multiplication.com suggests examples like: "Two shoes kicked the door, two times two is four" and "Six asked eight for a date, six times eight is 48."
