[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: for some kids, math is intuitive, easy. So, yes, they will understand multiplication concepts easier/faster, and it would be fine if they rote memorized the times table first. For the kids that don't find math as intuitive, it helps to slow it down, and not learn math by rote memorization first, but by the concepts that the teacher PPs have stated. So, really, it depends on your child. But, I have to say, judging by that article about how US adults' math skills suck compared to even some 2nd world countries, I think the majority of people are in the latter camp category - math is not a strong subject for most people.[/quote]
