Okay this may sound stupid but Im in 7th grade and I don't know all my multiplications. Well I know some and the others one I have to count with fingers. Im really want to learn them before I enter 8th grade I got the rest of the teacher strike and the summer but how should I learn them without using flashcards?
Should I just read them in my mind and say them out loud sometimes or should I write the whole 3,4,6,7,8,9 ect. table a few time or shuld i write them out as 5x5=25?
Also how many time should I write them?

Hey :)

Multiplications are at first seeming Difficult, But really there not once you get the hang of them,


For example 5x5 = 25, think of it as 5x10 = 50 /2 = 25.

The same can apply to 3x5 ( 3x10 /2 = 15).

Youl get the hang of it dont you worry!
If you are going to do long multiplications in a test and the question is 251 x 184 You can set it out using the box method below


--- 200 50 1
100
80
4

Then fill it out
-----200 50 1
100 20,000 5000 100
80 16000 4000 80
4 800 200 4

Then simply add them together

20000
16000
5000
4000
800
200
100
80
4

= 46184
