He did it on timetable

Mother has set an objective to teach Ethan the 12 timetable in a period of one year. But this fellow had surprised us with his ability. He memorized all of them within half a month.

He really shocked us when he read aloud the timetable until 12 to us in one day because we only taught him until 7. Guessed he was secretly self learning by using the timetable card mother done for him. Even though he cannot perfectly 100% memorized all as sometimes he will forget 3 or 4 out of 12 timetable.

We did not simply asked him to memorize the timetable instead mother did explained to him that the multiply is the shortcut of adding. For example, 2X3=6 is the shortcut of 2+2+2=6. So if he forgets about the answer of the 2x4=8 so mother will ask him to add 2 to 6 to know the answer since he knows the 2x3=6. Now when he forgot about the answer, he will use his fingers to add up the next multiply answer. This is the way we let him learn the multiply and of course he loves the math or else he would find it boring.

We were really proud of him when he found out his mother's mistake on the timetable card on "9" as the print out is 9 x 1 = 8. At first, mother thought of printing again the correct one for him but later seems that he had corrected it by himself by gluing the correct figure on it. So just let it be so he can remember it by heart.

Since he knows all the multiply, now is time to let him practice so he can remember it instead of going back to zero.
