It was probably much better that you did it on your own when you felt like it. My art students tell me that rote learning is what put them off math. I'd rather we found ways to keep those people interested.https://twitter.com/davidmanheim/status/1028945037550407680 …

That is too often true, but rote is needed. Students who understand how multiplication works then need to memorize the tables. Students first should understand the fundamental theorem of calculus, but then must practice finding integrals. Both understanding and rote are critical.

Rote learning tables shouldn't mean chanting them in unison. We played pair racing games filling a randomised grid with a wax pencil - great fun!
