I'm 18 and still don't have my multiplication tables memorized is this a bad thing

And its not like youre guna get quized on it anyways.-Having your tables not memorized isnt a bad thing, I dont have all memorized up to twelve either, (I was only taught up to 10), so as long as you know how to multiply, there is no problem.......
i don't use it that often lol

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're probably not alone. And it's not like you're guna get quized on it anyways.

Having your tables not memorized isn't a bad thing, I don't have all memorized up to twelve either, (I was only taught up to 10), so as long as you know how to multiply, there is no problem. YOU CAN DO NOTHING WORSE TO YOUR SELF THAN NOT KNOW HOW TO MULTIPLY AT ALL!

To help solve this problem I assume you may want to memorize it, or use a trick. My mother taught me a trick when I was very young so it may help you with your times tables from 6 to 10. Simplified version at the bottom.

Hold your hands with your thumbs on top and your palm facing you.
Your fingers from bottom to top, on both sides, represent the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and your thumb being ten. And here comes the text image.
(The crappy arrows are fingers.)
===> 10 The exact same thing on the other side.
=====> 9 like reflected.
======>8 So anyways lets use 8*8 as the example. you touch fingers 8 and 8 together.
=====>7 The fingers touching and below are counted by ten, for this example we have 6
====>6 fingers counted. Anyways when you count them, count by tens. which would be 60.
Then the top fingers are multiplied. (You won't be doing anything worse than 4*4 so it should be easy enough) the numbers you multiply are separated by hand so it's left hand times right hand.
This example it would be 2*2. which is 4. Than we add them the first number from before and the second number. it's totals 64. Which is correct

*Simplified*
Your finger represent numbers.
You represent the question by touching certain fingers together.
You then count the touching fingers and below by tens.
You multiply the fingers at the top hand.
You add it together and you get your answer.

-Hope this helps bro.

Nope it's not a bad thing since i really can't remember most of them, besides that's what a calculator is for at times! :D

you could be possibly mentally retarded

-
