But then I remember "times tables" :-)

My 7 year old came home with homework last week where he had to learn his
2
times table. Which was interesting, because although he knew the maths
and
the numbers, he had no concept of the whole "no twos are zero, one two is
two, etc" phrasing/chanting of it.

When I was about 4 or 5 I went to a small school where we used to chant
our tables first lesson every morning. I know it's considered the 'wrong
way' now (or is it?) but that method certainly made the tables stick in
the mind. To this day, I recall my tables easily.
