Multiplication Facts Help

As many of you may have figured out, knowing your multiplication tables quickly and easily will help in just about every type of math problem you do. If you're anything like me, I had such a hard time learning them all. It simply was just too overwhelming to remember all those numbers! But, the truth is - you probably know the majority of them already. Would you believe me if I told you that learning just 6 - yes, six - different math facts will help you tremendously? Check out this site I found yesterday...In addition to the very short article, watch the embedded video. I think you will be enlightened. Then, let me know what you think.

Oh, and you're right - there is no sound.

Have a great Thursday!
