Skip count with a song
Skip counting songs are multiplication facts in disguise. Sing the 4s once a day for a week and have kids hold up a finger for each number. When you ask "What's 4 times 6?" they count six fingers and know it.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
