As a child, learning the math multiplication table was very difficult to me. I thought it was dumb that we had to remember a bunch of random numbers. I also was never told how to do any of it. It was very frustrating to be the odd one out that does not know the table.
So, what I did was understand why the numbers were what they were. I thought logically which really helped me understand the whole table. Again I sat down and printed pictures of the table out. I wanted to visualize the answers because I am a visual learner as well. Looking at all the numbers was very helpful to me. Now as I am older, graphs, charts, flow charts really help me learn. So it started with just pictures and now I have come to a more complex level.
I like to depict the graphs and take in all the information they have to offer, basically analyze it. Not only does it dumb down the information for me but connects it all together. Making connections is something I try to do as well. Teachers that make connections for me are ones that I can actually listen to and not zone out. What other visualizing techniques are out there?
