20 Speed Math for Kids
With a little practice, you can do these calculations entirely in your
head.
Note to parents and teachers
People often ask me, “Don’t you believe in teaching
multiplication tables to children?”
My answer is, “Yes, certainly I do. This method is the
easiest way to teach the tables. It is the fastest way, the
most painless way and the most pleasant way to learn
tables.”
And while they are learning their tables, they are also
learning basic number facts, practicing addition and
subtraction, memorizing combinations of numbers that
add to 10, working with positive and negative numbers,
and learning a whole approach to basic mathematics.
