Put this chart somewhere you’ll see it often, like on your fridge or in your bedroom. If you are memorizing up to the 12s instead of the 10s, give your chart 12 columns and 12 rows, so that you have a total of 144 squares.

You should practice this for about 5-10 minutes twice a day until you can do it easily without looking at the table. [5] X Research source

This is sometimes easier when you can look at the numbers, since you will be used to seeing certain numbers together. Try doing written problems too.

Don’t stop practicing columns once you’ve learned them!

Greg Tang’s website also has fun multiplication games such as Kakooma, a puzzle that lets you pick the right answer out of a pattern: http://gregtangmath. com/kakooma

Try searching for “Mr. DeMaio time table songs” or “NumbeRock math songs” on YouTube for some fun educational tunes.

You can also put a gold star or sticker next to each row on the times table that you’ve memorized to keep track of how much you’ve learned.
