Question: I need software to teach multiplication and division facts in a fun way? I have a 10 year old child who is very bright and extremely stubborn.  He does not want to memorize his multiplication and division facts even though he is quite capable of this.  If he could have a game to play that would make this fun I believe he would be able to memorize the facts rather quickly.  I have searched and have not found anything yet.  I need suggestions please!

Answer: As a child I learned my multiplication tables by making up rhymes for them.  I started to learn multiplication at 9 years old and by the time I was 10 and half way through 5th grade, I had them mastered.  -Six times eight is on the gate, because six times eight is forty-eight-, -Six times nine is such a bore, six times nine is fifty-four-.  I found some sites about multiplication rhymes, hope they help!
