My New Math Goal #2

Date: Wednesday March 23 2016

My old math goal was to memorize my 9 times tables. I think I have achieved this goal because I have remembered a strategy from Grade 3 and my teacher told the class that the easiest way to remember the 9 times tables was to add to the tens and minus the ones. Ex: 9, 18, 27 etc. 

My new math goal is to memorize my 6 times tables. I do know some of the numbers but I cannot say it fluently. I will achieve this by letting my grandma repeat the 6 times tables several times each night before going to bed. That was what she used to do to me with the 3 times tables when I was in Grade 2. I also think I can remember this easily because I remember the rhymes. Ex: 6 x 3 = 36. It rhymes. Also this one:  6 x 8 = 48. If you say those two equations out loud you can see that they rhyme.
