For 2 the pattern is in groups of 5, 00001 11112 in the left column and then 24680 24680 on the right. If you notice every third number of the right column is one less than the previous group and includes all of the number 0-9 again. 000 111 222 3 then in the right column it's 369 258 147 0, that series continues on as well but starts over with 333 444 555 6 and then repeating the same 369 258 147 0. For multiples of 5 it's 0112233445 and then you alternate 5050505050 in the next column. Then make two columns and have him write out numbers from 0-9, next to that have him write out the reverse order 9-0Īnother cool thing about that particular series is that the sum of the digits all add up to 9.įor multiples 10 you can just write out the numbers 1-10 and literally put a zero in the right column. Write the numbers 1- 10 in the margin on some notebook paper An example I like is multiples of 9 using columns, since most children are quite capable of counting to 10. Plenty of great suggestions here, I would also recommend showing him some of the patterns that arise naturally through the tables themselves. I also heard once that the more senses you get into the educational process, the faster you'll learn it and the longer you'll retain it.
Someone once told me "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand". since multiplication is just repeated addition, you could show that one row of 3, added to another row of 3, is the same as 2x3. If the student does this on a board (or something moveable), you can then rotate it 90 degrees to show (visually) that 2 x 3 is the same as 3 x 2. For example, if it was 3 x 2, then place one row of 3 chips, then another row of three chips on top of it. One thought which may also help - if you have access to blocks, coins, poker chips etc (as long as you have at least 144 of them of the same size), try using them to visualize the multiplication problem. (It was actually for her, and she is an older "student") She said she found the card game "Peace" described here helpful. Someone had brought the page below to my attention within the last few days.
