(Think of shopping, bill paying, taxes, investments, loans, etc…). Multiplication is a necessary life skill, and your children will need to calculate daily mental math with speed to make quick decisions.
This is actually a great question! With the world at our fingertips, and the calculators in our pockets, why even teach multiplication facts to begin with? For me personally, as a homeschooling mom, the answer was simple: LIFE. However, in more formal learning programs, students begin multiplication table memorization in the 3rd grade.
Students as young as kindergarten can start practicing their x10 facts as soon as they can count to 100, because they are able to recognize simple number patterns on the hundreds chart. Learning multiplication times tables doesn’t have be for older students only.
