Why do children have to recite their times tables?
Children have to recite their times tables because saying things
out loud tend to help with memorizing the information. The same way
that doing things hands on help to learn to do things.
I reccomend going to
http://math.about.com/od/multiplication/ig/Times-Tables-Worksheets/
because they are the leaders in almost every thing that has to do
with math! It is a great site for help.
