After a week of testing, nagging and moaning (and with the use of out and out bribery) boy #1 seems to have cracked his times tables. Why don't they just bloody make them learn them by rote in school (would have saved us the price of the bribe!).
prev My daughter in law is falling apart, is there anything I can do to help her?
  
next what is the best way to get a six pack without excercise equiptment?

I learnt my tables by rote and it was very effective, it wouldnt hurt to put this back into the curriculum, it may not be effective to all but I would imagine the vast majority would retain the information.

I learnt the tables by chanting. I learnt how to work it out by forming patterns (so for 8 x table it goes down in twos' 8. 16, 24 32,40 etc)... If a child can't understand what it is learning that chanting an answer out is hardly helpful.
