Answer:
Use flashcards to get them to memorize them. This is the BEST way ever. That's the secret: memorization. You can get them to go against each other to make it a game. They compete and you can give them incentive prizes to make it more fun.

Well for a kid thats learning 0-12 multiplication, 6,7,8 can be the hardest of all. So for 6- if you multiply 6 by an even number, they both end in the same digit. Example: 6×2=12, 6×4=24, 6×6=36. For 7- there aren't too many tricks for 7.... For 8- all I really got is this rhyme, 8 and 8 fell on the floor when theygot up they were 64. 8 times 8 equals 64. So I probably didn't help too much but good luck.

My sister just taught me this way. It's pretty cool. Hold up your ten fingers and do this: Example 9x8: Count to eight on your fingers and put the 8th finger down - you'll be left with 7 fingers before and 2 fingers after the down finger = 72! She said it works for all the tables...I haven't tried it on all of them...I did think it was pretty cool though.

i always used to make up songs to remember things when i was a kid. its fun and you dont really remember that you are doing work. or use m&ms. like say youre doing 4 x 4. put four groups of four candies, and that way they can actually see the amount and not just the numbers. hope i helped!

make a song what does 6X1 = six and 6X2 = come on you knowww it 12 that's right 12 and now what does 6X3 = 18 18 one more time 6x3 = 18 and so and so if that doesn't work make flash cards ,i had roller blade ones :) good luck

reward kids who practice their multiplication tables with candy. or have contests where you have two kids, and you ask them both a multiplication question like......5 times 3 and the first one to answer wins a jelly baby or something

have you and the child make a multiplication table together...kind of like a art project. they will get interested right off the bat. they are proud of themselves when they can use something that they helped make.

make a song That always helped me when I was growing up. :) Sounds like I'm joking, I am not kidding you. Like "7, 7, 49!" "6, 4, TWENTY FOUR!"
