Really memorizing multiplication tables is very important, it will help her so much later if she's ever interested in basically anything STEM related. It just makes you so much quicker at calculating things in your head, even if you just want a rough estimate of something.
I don't remember when kids start learning them, but once she is supposed to memorize them, you'd do her a world of good if you practice them with her a lot. And you don't have to have them memorized yourself for that, you can always have them in front of you on a sheet ;)
Thanks. It is, because she was struggling in Kindergarten.
She already is learning some multiplications, but she's having a little problem comprehending the fact that any number times zero is zero and any number times one is that number. But she has figured out two times two is four. And she watches School House Rock, which helps and we do math together.
