Math Memorization

Our oldest is doing multiplication in the 3rd grade. He is a master of understanding the concept of multiplication, but struggles with memorization for having the facts "at the ready". We use Math U See math curriculum, and I find it great, but was looking for additional information/tips/techniques and came across this teaching tutorial. I could see it just as easily used for addition, the other commutative math principle.

This is very helpful. Makes it very simple to understand. Thanks for sharing. Never thought about checking out youtube. :)

I taught my first grader all of his multiplication and division times tables through 9s in only a month by using the Memory Joggers system. I was so surprised, but he picked it up right away and we had fun doing it too. My neighbor had recommended it and her son had ADHD. I don't remember the website, but you can google it.
