Every fact from 11 × 1 to 11 × 12, what to notice about them, and a game for drilling the ones that don't stick.

How to remember it
- Up to 9, just repeat the digit: 11 × 4 = 44.
- From 10 it changes — 11 × 12 = 132 — which is where it starts needing recall.
Practising it properly
Recall and calculation are different skills. A child who works out 7 × 8 by counting up from 7 × 4 knows the maths, but they'll still stall on it in a longer problem. The goal is answering without working it out — which is why the game times every card and treats a slow correct answer as something still worth practising.
Short and frequent beats long and rare. Five minutes a day moves a fact from "worked out" to "known" faster than half an hour on a Sunday.
