My DGS has difficulties remembering his x tables. Asked to reel them off and he can do, but the teacher gives them 100 mixed x tables questions and he struggles.

Any bright ideas please? My DD has found some songs which they're learning at home together and she's hoping the different tunes will trigger the answers.

Thought I'd try gransnetters for some tried and tested strategies. Grateful for any help.

Should have added that the 4 is added to make 9.

Don’t need fingers for 9 x as all I do is deduct one from the number of nines so 6x 9 becomes 5 plus 4 =54.

The GC whose problem started this thread must be a teenager by now!

I expect he's left school now!

Used to joke with son about his tables. Saying perhaps he will learn then at secondary school. Then it was GCSE. Then A level. Then university.
This might sound flippant but he always said don’t need them. Perhaps he was correct. He has a good Maths degree from Imperial College

You've just given me a blast from the past recalling teaching my (now early 30's) sons to use that formula.

I used Dienes at school in the early 1960s. It wasn't Montessori.

Yes. I think it may be based on Montessori which is why I asked if anyone knows.

I am another blown away by the beauty of mathematics

I was taught Maths at a Montessori school initially (up to age 10) and I think those methods helped me see the magic and patterning in maths - as in nature.
Thank you to my early teachers.

I hope the lad has grasped learning tables by now.
*he’s had 5 years from 2017 to practice*
