How can my child learn the 8 times table?
Five minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday. Start with the facts they already know from other tables (turn 8 × 5 around and it’s 5 × 8), then learn one trick: double the number three times. Then play: answering from memory, again and again, is what makes facts stick, and a game makes them want to.
