Learning Styles:
Every person has an optimum way of learning new information.
Memorize
in Minutes, The Times Tables presents each multiplication fact using the three basic
modalities. Each lesson uses pictures for the visual learner. Stories are used to help the
auditory learner. The lesson ends with an activity for the kinesthetic learner who learns
by moving, doing, and touching.
Here's how it works...
- Each number 2 through 9 is represented by a picture. For example:
 |
| TREE |
|
| 3 is represented by a tree |
- The
answer to each multiplication fact is another picture based on the combination of the two
numbers.
|
|
|
TREE (3) |
|
X |
|
|
|
TREE (3) |
|
= |
 |
|
LINE (9) |
|
- This is the picture a student remembers for 3 x 3. When a student sees
two threes, he or she pictures two trees with a line between them. (Line
rhymes with 9.)
- This is the story that goes along with the picture:
Story:
There was a boy who loved to play football with his friends. His
parents knew how much he loved football, so they gave him a
football jersey to wear. The number on the back was the number
of his favorite professional football player. It was the number
nine.
One day he was playing football with his friends. He was
trying to catch a pass, but he slipped and fell in the mud. His
jersey got dirty. This made the boy very sad. He went home and
washed the mud out of his jersey. The jersey was wet, so he went
outside and tied a rope between two trees. The boy hung the
jersey on the line so it would dry.
- When you use the pictures and stories in
Memorize in Minutes, the
Times Tables, it is as easy for a student to remember 2 x 2 as it is for them to
remember 7 x 8. Each fact just uses different pictures.
It sounds great, I'd like to
