Strategies

Strategies are ways to make it easier to memorize the facts (instead of just rote memorization).

Two web sites that are useful for learning strategies are:

  1. Mental Math Strategies - covers strategies for addition and multiplication.
  2. Teach the Times Tables - is a series of 14 lessons from multiplicaton.com*. They have some nice charts, as shown in the video below.
