Simple Rules for Studying Multiplication Facts:
~Master the 3s and 4s (9 of the 15 most difficult facts are found here)
~Remember the Commutative Property (3x4=4x3)
~Avoid flash cards with 0s, 1s, and 2’s.
~Use skip counting 5s as abridge to master 6s
~Learn all the doubles at once!
~If students know their 0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, and doubles there are only 15 facts left to memorize.
~Study 15 minutes each night.
~Study 5 of the Fearsome 15 each day until memorized.
