Hello friends of @steemit my eldest daughter Sophia is studying the 2nd Grade of Primary and one of the tasks that she placed for the house a few days ago was to learn the Tables to Multiply as they were going to start practicing the Multiplications, and I said uffffff! a somewhat complicated process to teach my daughter this, as I remember that when I learn to learn it was very difficult and cumbersome, I remember spending days and days studying to learn them and this is what motivated me to make this post, with Tecnicas and Fun games to facilitate the learning of the Multiplication Tables to our little ones in a way that makes them easier and have fun while they learn.

At first memorizing the multiplication tables may seem like an arduous task; But with patience and a good method, you will see how your kids can learn the tables without problems. In fact, I present to you different techniques and games that will help make this not something boring but a challenge ...

The first thing we have to do to make this an easy and fun process is to provide our children with the tables in a fun, colorful and eye-catching format, I recommend making them together with them on cardboards and coloring them with their favorite colors and put the drawings of the characters that they like, once we have our multiplication tables lists, we can start studying following these steps:

1- Read multiplication tables

Read the tables several times out loud. Do not rush, read carefully and slowly, stopping a few seconds in each operation. The different colors will also help you learn the multiplication tables using visual memory, that is, remembering the image you have seen and it has been printed in your memory.

It is not necessary that you learn them all together, in fact at school you usually go little by little. Start with the table of 1 and 2. Then you can add the others.

2- Repeat multiplication tables

After having read the tables you want to learn several times out loud, try to repeat them in order. That is, if you have read the table of 2, you start repeating: 2 × 1 = 2; 2 × 2 = 4; 2 × 3 = 6, etc.

3- Practice the tables in order

To check how you are doing, start by doing the exercises we have prepared where you have to fill in the results of the multiplication tables in order. You will see below that we have prepared a sheet for each table, with an exercise to practice the tables in order and another to practice them sauteed.

4- Practice sauteed tables

Do you already know the table in order? Well now the test is a bit more difficult! In the school they will also ask you to taste them sauteed, that is, without following the order 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. This is something more complicated, you will have to know them well to be able to respond.

5- Make multiplications to review what has been learned

If you got here you have passed all the tests. It is time to practice multiplication tables doing operations. (It is advisable to practice solving easy multiplications suitable for children of second and third grade)

Once you are sure you have learned, for example, tables 1 and 2, you can continue with the next two tables. Remember that as the numbers get bigger, it becomes harder to memorize the multiplication tables, so it is important that you know the first ones well before moving on to the next ones.

6.- I also recommend you to learn children's songs on the Multiply tables, you will see how easy and fun it can be to learn the tables. (Here I send you a link of some songs that you may like)

7.- In the market there are educational games that are very useful and that can help you practice and learn the tables, you can play alone or with your friends will be very fun. In these pictures you can see a game where the chips ask you several skipped operations and you will have to find the corresponding tiles in response.

Tricks to learn multiplication tables

Now that we have learned the tables with the traditional method, I show you some fun tricks to review the multiplication tables:

Easy multiplication tables using hands

The multiplication tables from 6 to 9 are the most difficult, as we have seen. That is why review with this trick that is funny and fun, can be a way to remember them more easily. Here is the explanation of the video:

Open your hands and put them with your palms towards you; number each of your fingers, starting from the little finger that will be 6, to the thumb that will be 10. Face the two fingers of the numbers you want to multiply and count: fingers facing plus all those that have been below, are worth 10 each. Those that have remained above the opposing fingers multiply (those of one hand with those of the other) and add to the previous number.

In the video we practice the multiplication of 6x9 = 54.

The bottom fingers add 5 and each one is worth 10, which represents 50 and the fingers above multiply 4x1 = 4, resulting in 54. 6x9 = 54

Tricks to learn the table of 9

There are some super easy tricks to remember the table of 9, let's see them:

Teaching processes can become very tedious and boring for children, it is in us as parents and teachers to look for different alternatives that favor learning and we must focus on trying to make them fun, this will guarantee the interest of the little ones and it will also guarantee that they learn more easily.

I hope these techniques are useful and that you can put them into practice with your children and students.

Greetings and I hope you in my next post!
