This is third grade, so those must be times tables

Stefanie and I were trying to figure out how to help Sofia learn her times tables. We both had little tricks we were trying to teach her--Stefanie had a good one for 6's and my favorite is the trick with the 9's. Until I remembered how I learned times tables...standing up in front of Mrs. Maclaughlin's third grade class (1983!) and repeating over and over: 6 times 1 is 6. 6 times 2 is 12. 6 times 3 is 18. 6 times 4 is 24. 6 times 5 is 30. 6 times 6 is 36. Again and again and again. And then do it again. And then again. As an added benefit--Dylan is learning them too, seemingly by osmosis.
