Make your own multiplication table after listening to all these songs. You could memorize the whole thing in one day. I promise!
You should scan the products on a multiplication table and see how many factors it has.
Hint: Factors are highlighted in green. Products are not.
For example, find all the instances of 20 in the table noting that 2x10, 4x5, 5x4 and 10x2 all equal 20. Therefore 20 has 4 factors shown on the table: 2, 4, 5 and 10. What about 48? 32? Do some numbers have more factors than others? Yes! Do they also appear more frequently on the table? Maybe not...
Memorizing the chart as a whole ... as a picture (ie by recalling the spots of all the numbers ... ie where '20' appears ..." can be an abacus in your brain! Remember we are doing an INTENSE REVIEW. Our aim is to really learn this stuff... permanently! We are using SQR3 for this .. Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review.
As a further exercise, you could make a frequency chart that plots each product in the table and the number of times it appears. Print out the table, Cut out the numbers and rearrange them on your frequency table.
After you finish this first day of work I want you to spend 5 minutes 3 times a day doing the Math Trainer game. It is designed to help you memorize and it's fun. By the end of our Intense Review week you will finally know your times tables. Hooray!
