Hi all,
I dont remember who wrote the above but I must haved missed this trick . Can you guiys please let me in on the Times table tricks? I would like to "learn" them better myself!
And also, you guys have been talking about a book or a movie...someone was saying they saw it for a birthday one year and it was the best birthday they ever had. Can you also please tell me what that was...I have been soooo backed up with emails, I have had people coming from other states to stay with us all month long and into Feb too! I am enjoining them just missing the posts.
Have a great day all,
Heidi

On my "Math Blog" I have this:
7 X 8
For some reason, this is the multiplication fact that almost everybody
has trouble remembering. So - here is a little quick way to remember
it. Just count: 5, 6, 7, 8.
Why does that remind you of how to multiply 7 X 8?
Because 56 is 7X8 -- 5, 6, 7, 8.
There is more on multiplying on the blog - including a finger trick for
figuring the sixes, sevens, eights, and nines. It takes a little
concentration to go through the steps and figure it out - much easier
if I could show it to you, not write out each step, but it is fun for
lots of kids and usually once they know the trick, they remember it.
(Unlike some of us grown-ups, who forget how to do it quickly. <G>)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
There's one kind of sexual scene, but little kids won't get it.
And there's a gory cartoonish-blood one-on-one battle scene.
It's generally not the kind of humor little kids get. Mine always wandered
away.
Years ago when I got my first VCR, that was the tape Keith bought me to go
with it.
I sneaked a tape recorder into a theatre to record it, in the 70's when it
was new.
The DVD's cool because you can put on the subtitles to get the jokes where
the goofy regional English (or French) accents make the words hard to catch
the first time.
There are songs. <g>
