Hi, you may Google for "japanese multiplication trick lines" to explore. Have fun!

Additionally, use daily life events to get your child to practice the multiplication.

Following

Try the counting fingure method for multiplication of 9 https://www.google.com.sg/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-browser&q=9+multiplication+table&gfe_rd=cr&ei=75JzVtGUDunJ8AfR4b_QBA#q=9+multiplication+finger+trick&imgrc=dLAfb1hds3mB-M%3A

Thks for e replies..Is there a method tats applicable to all ..besides the jap line mtd..e counting finger for mutiply of 9 is gd but its only applicable to 9

Interested to learn too

Try doing via songs. For example, u can sing 4 times table to the tune of row, row, row your boat. I do that with my children.

Hi Daniel..i believe e 2..5..n 10 time table r easier..they done it in kindergarten..my challenge will n e rest of it

Ultimately, it's how frequent one makes sense of these multiplications, regardless of the methods.

Hi Jason Oon..thks for sharing on e multiplication songs.. It makes learning more fun..

My pleasure. Another good way is to make the kids write out the product of the numbers on a table like this. This way they can relate the values and think of ways to remember them easily.

The only times tables any student needs to "remember" are 2s and 10s the rest are all based on those eg 3s are 2 groups + 1 group, 4s are double double etc check out: http://www.mathsheroes.com.au/2015/12/twos-and-tens/

I'm not too sure whether it is fun or not, but learning that it is actually 'how many groups of something' helps. That's the foundation. Then introduce skip counting of 10, 5 and 2s in that order. It's quite fun for my son and he can skip count 10s and 5s to 100. And counts in 2s to 20. He's 4.5 years old and essentially he has learnt the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication table. Hope this helps.

Ok. But There's some reason for that order. Anyway, for the rest is not important .. ;)

Why not try deriving all the rest of the times table from 2s, 5s and 10s? It will be a fun exercise! And guarantee to build a strong foundation.

Fully agree, Christine! Though I'll add the 5s coz it's easy to remember. Did this with a student last week after she forgot 9x6. I just set the question and she did the rest, no 'memorizing' ..

Daniel Loh Thanks Daniel, I have thought about the fives -most kids actually know these so don't actually have to learn them as extra, but knowing it's half of ten is handy when you do something like 43 x 5 and can think 430 (10 x 43) and then halve it to get 215. :)

The value of the digit in the tens place must be a multiple of 10. It is 15 more than the value in the ones place, so it must be 2 (20) since the value of the number in the ones place is less than 10. The value in the ones place is 20-15=5. Since the sum of digits is 10, the digit in the hundreds place must be 10-5-2=3. Therefore the number is 325.

Thanks Kathleen, .... Think it is quite complicated to explain to a pri 1 boy..@@

Hi Raymond, may I ask,how did you get the 30 in Shernice? And why?

Hi! Refer to the 2 images below for the explanation. :)

Lost $50, then gained $20... so she lost $30 compared to beginning

Thanks Raymond ! One more question pls (no.7) ! TQvm

Constant total problem

Emm...may I know why do u change the numerator?

Constant sum problem. To equate 3u (before) & 5u (after) the same. LCM of 3 & 5 is 15. So before ×5, after ×3

Ok,thanks!
