[QUOTE="donna723, post: 616352, member: 1883"] Susie, when my daughter was little, she had a terrible time memorizing the multiplication tables. This was when we first moved to rural Tennessee and we lived out in the country 12 miles outside of a very small town. There was a bigger elementary school "in town" but there were also six 2-room community elementary schools in the outlying areas. Kindergarten was at the bigger school in town, then for grades 1-6 they went to the community schools, first thru third in one room, fourth thru sixth in the other! Believe it or not, she learned more in this little school than she ever had before! The teachers had to be very resourceful. She did great until they got to those darned multiplication tables and she always had a big problem with running in the hall. So instead of having her write off meaningless sentences as a punishment for running inside, her teacher had her write off the multiplication tables ... page after page of them! And by the time she learned not to run in the hall, she had those multiplication tables down cold! Even now, so many years later, she can still rattle them off from memory. [/QUOTE]
