Are you searching for an easy way through which you could teach your kids multiplication? Here is one of the easy methods that children could depend on to learn times tables which is done through the table that holds the numbers from 1 to 100.
This method used for multiplication is based on the table that you could either create or else print out directly from the internet that is divided into small lines and rows and holding the numbers from 1 to 100. You will choose the times tables which you are going to teach your kid in this lesson, if you are going to teach them the timetable of number two, you will let them count and color the numbers related to it with a specific color. Counting makes the process easier because the numbers are already laid down in front of them and all what they have to do is count to know the ones related to the timetable they are working on.
There are some words in the mathematical vocabulary which the kids should be well aware of, such as "double counting" which is the same as multiplication. This will make it easier for the kids to know how many times they are supposed to count in order to know the numbers related to the timetable. If again the example would be number two then the kids should know that they have to count two to find all the numbers related to two times table; it would be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.
This is also one of the helpful methods when it comes to numbers like five. The timetable of number five carries numbers that either end with five or else end with zero and this table will make it easier for the kids to notice such a thing, which is why we also believe that this table technique for multiplication for kids is an effective one.
A third and last thing to mention about this mathematical method and the reason why we love it for the kids is that sometimes your kid could work on it with two different numbers and these numbers might have some numbers in common when it comes to their times tables, so it will also make it easier for the kids to know which numbers they share.
There are lots of ways and different math games for kids that could teach them multiplication and this table is just one of them. Multiplication is known with the basic grid table method that when kids get a little bit older start to deal with it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3duqrhE8Xw), there is also the mixture between the times tables and aerobics which help the kids to identify the numbers of the timetable they are playing with through the aerobics moves that they are doing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hICAoEIcLE) and there are also those story problems which the kids should read carefully and translate into numbers in order to solve (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pWka6dk3b4).
When you are choosing the lessons that you are going to teach your kid, always make sure to settle on those creative and sometimes tricky ones to give them the chance to think and come up with the answers at the end, because doing it in the easy way all the time will not give them the chance to think and try to finally get an answer.
Times tables might sometimes be hard for the kids, but these are not to be memorized, these times tables are to be solved out in mindful ways and these are the ways that kids should know about and understand to know how to multiply later on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6IN-h9d-I).

Welcome to Learning World. This is lesson number four in our Multiplication for Kids series
and at this stage we're going to look at one of the key elements in multiplication,
which is counting in steps. Your child will be learning to count in steps, in steps of twos,
fives and tens at this stage. They probably won't be doing much further than that, especially up
until sort of P3 age. But if your child can, do challenge them, let them work away. But we're
going to think about counting in steps and actually again giving your child that visual
element of counting in steps. And the best way to do that is using something like a simple 100
square. 100 squares are brilliant for this sort of thing because it gives a child a real sense of
actually seeing those numbers and seeing the patterns, which is really, really important.
This also will pull out key elements of the times tables for them when they actually work through
this. Just print one from the internet. There's loads of free ones on there and you can laminate
it if you want. That means you can reuse it over and over again, or you can just print a couple
and use them for different things. But what we're going to look at today is allowing how you can
allow your child to explore those patterns and those times tables and actually start to see that
idea of counting in steps. So your child might be starting on their journey of counting in steps of
Obviously you don't want to do these all together. I'm just going to show you for the purpose of the
video. We want to do twos first and then fives and then tens. But it's just allowing them to
see the patterns. It's quite nice if you do have one and you can colour in different colours,
then they can actually pull it out and have a wee look at it. So what I would encourage you to do
is to give your child a colour and say, look, I want you to count in twos and I want you to colour
in every time you're counting in twos. So they're literally going one, two. Oh, I need to colour in
one, two. I need to colour in. Now, if your child's getting on well and they're counting in twos,
they can count in twos, then they can say two, four, six, counting in so four, so on and so forth.
And they can go right through their 100 square and they can immediately see the pattern emerging.
Not only can they see that every other square is being coloured in, but they can also see the
pattern going down. And it's a really nice way to talk to your child about patterns and numbers and
number sequences as well. Then once you're happy with that or you want to then move on to the
fives, again, the same thing, count in fives, one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four,
five. Ideally, you would have different 100 squares or you can colour them in both colours
I can actually start to see the relationship between times tables, which is nice as well.
So they'll colour in, they'll make their patterns. And again, you start to see the patterns
emerging for counting in fives. What's lovely here is then you can now have that discussion
and say, hmm, now you've got a pattern. Do you notice anything about all of these? Oh,
they've all got five in the units column or they all end in a five. Oh, what about these?
They all end in a zero. There are your little tips and tricks to start helping your child
learn those times tables because immediately you can say, right, I'm going to ask you a number
and you're going to tell me if it's in the five times tables or not. So you know the rule is
all five times tables either end in five or they end in zero because you've made your patterns on
your 100 square and you can see that. So I'm just going to tell you a number and you're going to
tell me if it's in the five times tables. So three. No, immediately because it doesn't end in
five and it doesn't end in zero. One thousand three hundred twenty five. Yes, because it ends
in a five. And it's a really fun game and just a really quick way of getting your child actually
starting to help develop those little tips that are going to help them with their times tables.
So then you will move on to your tens and the same thing. They start to see this pattern emerging
that the tens all go down. Again, this is another really nice discussion you can have,
that ten times tables always end in zero. So you can play that little game again.
And also you can start to think about talking about place value in there as well,
which will help them with their patterns. And you can say, look, you see the pattern every time you
jump down, every time you add ten or you multiply by ten, you're jumping down in your little pattern.
You can see every time, look, the zero doesn't change, the units don't change, but look,
the tens numbers changing. Can you see that? So it's again a lovely little discussion point to
discuss all those things with your child and actually let them see the correlation and the
patterns and sequences of numbers while actually really thinking about counting in those steps.
From that, then you can move on to actually the physical, moving that practical resource away
and actually starting to move into the more mental idea of counting in steps.
