[Angela fowler]

My Dad just quizzed me on them at random, that way I could call them up
whenever I needed them.

Rote multiplication was in my experience, a  class all speaking aloud
following the lead of the teacher and like saying/speaking the "five times-"
Teacher- "Now students we are going to say the five times. Follow me: Five
times one is five, five times two is ten, five times three is fifteen, etc. 


And so the students learn their times tables by saying them again and again,
learning by rote. Later you can remember them singlely or if you get stuck,
you just start at a place that you know is correct, and you start speaking
them out and what do you know! The one you were stuck on falls right into
place, because that long ago pattern of saying them rote is still there.

You make a chart, and to find the result of the multiplication, follow one
number from the top down and the other from the left forward till they meet.

It's just memorization, I suppose.   You have to memorize the chart.   I'm
not
sure how much understanding that promotes.
