Multiplication tables, also known as times tables, are the basic building blocks for arithmetic calculations. The memory of a child is much more powerful than an adult. The things which we learn at an early age have a strong impact on the brain and they are retained lifelong.

Definition: A Multiplication table is a list of multiples of a particular number. It is a tool used to learn how to multiply two numbers. A times table helps us to calculate answers quickly and easily.

The times tables can be extremely important as:

Multiplication Tables support the mathematical learning of a student.
Gives them a strong grasp of the facts associated with multiplication
Makes it easier for students to work out problems in mathematics
Students who have a strong grasp of times tables, tend to be more self-assured when learning new math concepts.

Tips to Memorize Multiplication Tables

Students typically struggle to memorize multiplication tables. Here we have listed down a few effective tips to help students in memorizing these times tables.

Practice ‘skip-counting’
Recite the multiplication table in order
Practice by writing
Apply multiplication to real-life
Identify patterns

Practice Skip Counting: Start with a number and then keep adding that same number. For instance, if you start by 3, keep adding 3 every time to count. So you would say 3, 6, 9, 12 . .

Recite the Multiplication Table in Order: For instance, you would say “2 times 1 is 2, 2 times 2 is 4, 2 times 3 is 6,” and so on. Make it a practice to recite this table once daily until you master the structure that it follows.

Practice Reverse Table Recitation: Learn to say the multiplication table backward. Start from the bottom of the column. For instance, start with “2 times 20 is 40, 2 times 19 is 38,” and so on.

Practice by Writing: If you are facing difficulty memorizing the multiplication table, you always have the option of writing and learning. Make it a daily routine to write the multiplication tables and then recite them once.

Apply Multiplication to Real Life: Try to understand multiplication tables using real-life examples. You can also try practicing multiplication during various instances, if possible. For example, multiplying the price of one product by the number of products or multiplying the amount by the number of notes in a bundle.

Identify Patterns: Every multiplication table has its own pattern. It is very important to identify this pattern. It will help you to memorize these times tables faster.

Now Start reading the tables as many time as you can.
