8×8 fell on the floor, 8×8 is 64
9×9 ate a ton, 9×9 is 81
12 x 12 give 4 more, 12×12 is 144
5, 6, 7, 8 - 56 is 7×8
9. Learn the 9’s
Learn the trick - 9×7 starts with 6 (it is 1 less than 7) 6+3 more = 9
The Answer is 63. (6 and 3, The # less than 7 and the # added to get to 9)
Kids can hold up 7 fingers, take 1 away to have 6. Then, count up 3 fingers to get 9.

Learn the remaining 8 by making flashcards.
4×6, 4×7, 4×8, 6×7, 6×12, 7×12, 8×12, 9×12

Love the double rhymes! My daughter has just started multiplication in MUS Gamma. We'll use this. Thanks!
Love those rhymes! I also use a rap video called Ms. Jone's Multiplication rap. http://www.msjonesproductions.com/
It's so catchy I find myself singing her raps. My husband just *loves* it when I am signing the 7's rap! LOL
The nultiplication rhymes are great!
We have one more trick to share too.
A product of 9 adds up to nine.
5x9=45 4+5=9 and so on.
Only it does not work on is 10 and 11, but they are easy to remember by themselves.
Love that double rhyme - never heard it before. Off to teach it to my daughters! Thanks :)
I love the rhymes! I need to remind myself to print this out for the kids!
Wonderful WFW post..it was so calming for this caffeine filled momma! LOL
Thanks for the rhymes! The clock has helped my daughter to learn to count by threes...at least to 12. It is a great visual because each quarter of an hour is divisable by 3.
what a cool graphic with that verse.
What a beautiful graphic and great verse! Thanks for sharing!
Love the ryhme and was just sharing it with my daughter who struggles with her tables.
That's great!!
You can find out what works for me ::here::
Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for sharing the lovely picture and the encouraging verses. God bless!
I loved the passage you posted. So often I'll think well, Lord where are you? You're not here and the truth is that I haven't invited Him to be with me at that moment. thanks for the reminder!

not sure how I missed visiting you! but I see it now!!! Great job! I may have to write down the multiplication rhyme and save it for later! my kids are quite old enough for it yet!!!
Thanks! These are a huge help, and jsut when I need them!
Thanks for the tips, we'll be heading into multiplication soon with our oldest.
For 9, I learned this in high school (so I was past needing it) just hold your 2 hands in front of you with fingers sprayed out then put down the finger you're multiplying by (going from left to right) and the tens digit is the # of fingers on the left from finger put down and ones digit is the # of fingers on right from finger put down (sounds really complicated, but once you do it it's easy). 1x9 put down left pinky and you have 9 fingers up to the right from the down pinky so 1x9=9. 2x9 put down left ring finger so 1 finger on the left is the tens place and 8 fingers on the right is the ones place 2x9=18. Obviously this only works from 1x9 to 10x9.
