Effective Learning
There are many techniques for and theories about effective learning. Some are as basic as Pavlov and his dogs, a reference to the early 20th Century Nobel prize-winning theory. The Russian scientist is best known for his research into conditioned reflexes, which most people associate with Pavlov and his dogs and getting animals to take certain actions based on certain stimuli. Over the years, schools have thought that variations on Pavlov led to effective learning. Eventually, educators gave up on the idea that ringing a bell or uttering a phrase will result in real, thoughtful learning.

Multiplication For Kids – Learn Times Tables now!
After the experience I had teaching our phone number to my son, my wife commented that she had seen several products that claimed to use mnemonics to teach the multiplication tables to kids. Did I think we should get one?
At first I thought, “I could probably develop something myself.” But, I had her send me some links.
One of the links was to a company named Trigger Memory Systems. They make a product called “Times Tales.“ A set of stories that associate the combination of numbers 6 through 9 to their answers.
Why only 6 through 9? Well, think about it. We don’t want to teach multiplication facts without the child understanding what they are doing.
Most kids can do the sets 0 through 5 pretty quickly doing addition if they have to. In fact, when I teach my kids multiplication, that’s exactly how I teach it. However, using addition gets to be problematic once you get past six. Since they already understand that we are just adding we can use mnemonics to help them learn the facts faster. Mnemonics isn’t a substitution for understanding. It’s a way of remembering better what you already understand.
