The key to learning the times tables is to do a lot of drills. Repetition fixes the answers in your mind. While doing drills can be boring, there are ways to make it a lot more fun. The best way is to tie the learning to something that is already inherently enjoyable, such as listening to music or playing video games. The trick is to find music that is so catchy or games that are so engrossing that you will want to hear them or play them over and over. Before you know it, you will have learned your times tables without even trying.
