How quickly and without nerves learn the multiplication table
Forming Educational Program / / December 19, 2019
1. Prepare
First you need to do two things: print itself multiplication table and explain the principle of multiplication.
For work, we need the Pythagorean table. Previously it published on the back of notebooks. It looks like this:
Also you can see the multiplication table in this format:
So, this is not a table. It's just the bars of the examples in which it is impossible to find logical connections and patterns, so the child has to learn everything by heart. To facilitate his work, find or print this table.
2. Explain the principle of operation
When a child finds its own law (for example, see the symmetry in the multiplication table), it remembers it forever, as opposed to what he memorized or that he said someone else. So, try to turn the tables in the study of an interesting game.
Getting multiplying the study, the children are already familiar with simple mathematical operations: addition and multiplication. You will be able to explain to the child the principle of multiplication by a simple example: 2 × 3 - the same as a 2 + 2 + 2, ie, 3 times 2.
Explain that multiplication - it is a short and quick way to perform calculations.
Next you need to deal with the device of the table itself. Show that the number of the left column are multiplied by the number of the top line, and the correct answer - at the intersection of them. Find the result is very simple: you need only run your hand over the table.
3. Teach in small portions
Do not try in one sitting to learn everything. Start with the columns 1, 2 and 3. Thus you will gradually prepare the child to assimilate more complex information.
A good method: take an empty print or draw a table and fill it yourself. At this stage, the child will not have to remember and think.
When he figured out well enough and learned most simple columns, go to the numbers a little more complicated: first the multiplication by 4-7 and then 8-10.
4. Explain the commutative property
The most well-known rule: the permutation of the factors does not change the product.
The child will be clear that in fact he does not need to learn all of it, but only half of the table, and some examples of it already knows. For example, a 4 × 7 - the same as that 7 × 4.
5. Find regularities in Table
As we said earlier, in the multiplication table, you can find a lot of laws that will facilitate its memorization. Here are some of them:
- When multiplied by any number 1 remains the same.
- All of the examples 5 ending in 5 or 0 if the number is even, assign 0 to half the number if odd - 5.
- All examples are for 10 ending in 0, and start from the date on which we multiply.
- Examples 5 to less than half the examples 10 (= 5 × 10 50 and 5 × 5 = 25).
- To be multiplied by 4, you can simply double-double numbers. For example, to multiply 4 × 6, 6 to double twice: 6 + 6 = 12, 12 + 12 = 24.
- To memorize the multiplication by 9, note a number of responses in a column: 09, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. Remember you need first and last number. All the others can be played according to the rule: the first digit in double figures increased by 1, and the second is reduced by 1.
6. repeat
Often engaged in repetition. First, ask for the order. When you notice that the answers become confident, begin to ask randomly. Watch and rate: first, let's plenty of time for reflection, but gradually increase the pace.
7. play
Use not only standard methods remembering. Education should fascinate and interest to the child. Therefore, use visual aids, play, use different techniques.
cards
The game is simple: Prepare cards with examples of multiplication unanswered. Mix them, and the child has to pull one. If he gives the correct answer, put off the card in the direction, wrong - in the return stack.
The game can vary. For example, to answer for a while. And every day, count the number of correct answers to the child have the desire to beat his record yesterday.
You can play not only on time, but until then, until the end of the whole stack examples. Then, for every wrong answer you can entrust the child task: to tell a poem or lay things on the table. When all cards are unraveled, give a small gift.
reverse
The game is similar to the previous one, but instead of cards with examples you prepare cards with the answers. For example, on the card is written the number 30. The child must name a few examples, which will result in 30 (e.g., 3 × 10 × 5 and 6).
Life examples
Learning becomes fun when discussing with your child the things that he likes. So, the boy can ask how many wheels you need four cars.
You can also use visual aids: sticks for counting, pencils, dice. For example, take two glasses, each with four pencil. And clearly show that the number equal to the number of pencils pencils in a glass, multiplied by the number of glasses.
Poems
Rhyme to help you remember even the most complex examples that are not given to the child. Independently invent plain verse. Pick the simplest words, because your goal - to simplify the process of memorizing. For example: "Eight Bears chopped wood. Eight nine -. Seventy-two "
8. Do not be nervous
some parents are usually forgotten in the process and make the same mistakes. Here is a list of things that can not be done in any case:
- forcing a child doIf he does not want. Instead, try to motivate him.
- Scold for mistakes and to frighten poor grades.
- Set an example to their classmates. When you are with someone else compared, it is unpleasant. In addition, we must remember that all children are different, so everyone needs to find the right approach.
- Teach everything at once. Child easily frightened and weary large volume of material. Learn gradually.
- Ignore the successes. Praise your child when he deals with the tasks. At such moments, he has a desire to learn more.
