For children who are strong personal memory learners and remember things vividly if they are silly or funny, think about Memorize in Minutes

. While students are still learning their facts, allow them to work problems "open book" with their multiplication facts so they have more repetitions of correct math facts. Often teachers, parents, or tutors make the mistake of having students do everything - remember and retrieve math facts, remember and retrieve the sequence of solving the problem etc. What is a much more efficient way to learn is to scaffold math facts until they are learned almost automatically.
Memorize in Minutes uses cartoons a silly little stories to help kids remember e.g. 9 x 9 = 81 (sign-times-sign = "ate a ton").

For students with strong musical memories, don't forget all of the Multiplication Rock videos are available for free online at Youtube.com
