ah, facts. aren't they fun? by the time kids get to me, i need them to already know them. of course, they all don't and usually have some sort of block to memorizing them. instead of focusing on that, i teach my kids to count multiples. if they can count by sixes or sevens or whatever number is needed, they can get to the answer of that basic multiplication fact quickly and easily. it's not a cool website or a cute game, but it's been effective.
