The multiplication of two - as the practice is multiplied with playing cards

If you want a way to teach a child more easily multiplied by two, one to explain the two that multiplication is simply a doubling of the number. Instead, the child shows infinite multiplication multiplication tables and graphs on a card game and do the following:

o Take the tens, Jacks, Queens and kings. You do not need.
Take one or two different colors (eg Spades) and place it on the table.
o Take the Acethrough nine of each color (eg diamonds). Shuffle covered.
start or turn the cards one after another to say and how to do what the product of this number is multiplied by two.

o It is important to remember, do not say to himself, "twice (the amount that you are working) is ..." Try telling is the answer. If you have difficulty with a problem, as I said, 9 twice, remember that you are only a doubling of the number. If you have problems with this, you might want to skip "count" fornumber. To skip "count" only count for two, and held a finger for each number you say. So you could say, "two" and held a finger. So you could say, "four" and put out another. Over time, nine fingers, you should be up to eighteen. " This is the double nine.

This is important: every time you come) to a problem that you immediately know the answer (not as you think, if you do not Have, includes or skip, thinking you can, now know the answerfor you have found out. Do not fall into this trap! This is what hurts many more students. You must know the answer to simple multiplication in the bone. So if you have something like nine two times they have to stop counting to jump, see the maps, see the problem, and say aloud: "9 2 times 18" "9 times 2 is 18" received 18, is 2 times 9 "18 is 9 times 2" "2 9 18 times." Say, that certainly stronger every time you hesitate with the answer. It would help next time. Shethis is often not until they know immediately that two times nine is eighteen years to do, every time I see him. After executing all nine cards, it's time to do some 'serious practice.

Or let the two of spades face up on the table, take the rest of the cards, except for the tens, jacks, queens and kings, and mix them face down.

Turn off or cards before, they say their products. Do not forget to stop and look at the cards you see the problem,and say the combination of responses aloud, as above

or keep this until you can go through all the cards (there are 35 of them) are less than a minute. This is not very practical, and you feel very satisfied with yourself when you do it in less than a minute. Learning in this way has huge benefits. Once the multiplication of two big, try three. This method has the advantage that no print out worksheets, and can carry a bunch of Cards worldwide. You also improve your ability to concentrate, if you know this. I was diagnosed with ADD, and this method worked wonders for me.

Please note that we are talking about integers here. "Simply doubling" is not the definition of multiplication of two. There are subtleties that are beyond the scope of this article. But to learn multiplication with two simple, this method is much better, "Basics>. "If the above seems a little 'complicated, actually it is not.
