Multiplication tables are one of those things which everyone has to learn. multiplication tables are traditionally things that have been learnt a certain way over the years. People know they can learn their Multiplication Times Tables, but these are taught to us in a rote fashion, and to get them right takes a long time and a lot of effort.
This means learning a multiplication table is slow, unproductive, and involves too much thinking, as we are taught them in a linear fashion, for example–
Schools still learn as
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
3 x 2 = 6
By reading or saying your times tables out loud repeatedly, or using some another form of repetition.
