Learn your multiplication tables
time tables
While the multiplication tables are sometimes attributed to Pythagoras the oldest known multiplication tables were used by the Babylonians about 4000 years ago. These used a base of 60. The oldest known tables using a base of 10 are the Chinese decimal multiplication tables on bamboo strips dating to about 305 BC, during China's Warring States period.
When I was growing up, we had to memorize the full set of multiplication tables from 1 to 12. Multiplication Tables are standard 1 to 12 (not 1 to 100). Students must learn the times tables for 1 to 12, before they can apply those tables for 13 through to any number.You can find Multiplication Tables 1-12 online or as charts for sale. Or, do what we did as kids: make your own chart and color or decorate the chart.
It isn't necessary, nor particularly useful. Once you know the multiplication tables for one-digit numbers, you can do multiplication on paper for larger numbers. The time spent to memorize such multiplication tables for larger numbers would be better spent learning more advanced math concepts.
There are several resources available for teachers to obtain class materials such as multiplication tables. These can easily be found online or master sheets can be purchased from a teaching supply store which allows multiple copies to be produced for classroom use.
Very carefully.
