The importance of knowing the multiplication table cannot be overstated. A test of skill are the columns at the end of this page.
The student should practice the table out loud. To practice the 8 table, for example, say,
"1 times 8 is 8. 2 times 8 is 16. 3 times 8 is 24."
And so on. (Do not just say, "8, 16, 24, . . .") Repeat this so that "3 times 8 is 24" begins to sound right. It is not necessary to make an effort. Repetition is all that is required to make an impression in the mind.
