Go through the multiplication tables with your child using a times tables chart. Show the child the similarities between certain tables, such as the 2s, 4s and 8s. Have a discussion about the importance of memorizing multiplication facts.
Choose a catchy song that children can memorize. Listen to a recording of the multiplication song together with your child. You may need to replay it a few times to get accustomed to the words.
Print off the lyrics and practice the song, while singing it with your child. Choose a certain time of the day to teach your child multiplication, when there is less distraction. Keep repeating the song while looking at the lyrics, and then try to memorize it without looking at the lyrics or listening to the song.
