When fifth grade arrives so do the dreaded times tables.
Some kids glom onto the idea as a new fun challenge.
If your child s attitude falls into the dull and pointless attitude towards multiplication tables, it s time for you to take a new approach. Make it fun, make it exciting and make it a game. The best tactic when tackling those times tables is to use several different strategies for memorization. Flashcards of course are a must, but take the flashcards a step further. Shuffle them up, and deal them like a card game.
