Begin without a timer
Let the learner use a drawing or skip-counting for unfamiliar facts, then repeat the set when the method is clear.
Add more questions later
Increase the question count only after the current set can be finished with steady attention.
Common errors to check
Adding the factors
If 6 × 4 is answered as 10, return to equal groups and compare multiplication with 6 + 4.
Forgetting the zero fact
Any number multiplied by 0 has a product of 0. Check this directly when zero appears in the set.
Mixing nearby facts
A fact such as 7 × 8 can be checked from 7 × 7 by adding one more group of 7.
