Every child has to struggle through memorizing their times tables as they enter grade school. My Dad made me a giant book filled with these tables to help me remember them all, but no kid likes to read over these things. If only there happened to be a more interactive and fun way to do multiplication. 
There happens to be a very simple method to quickly calculate multiplication problems that incorporate the numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9. Most people would agree that remembering times tables with these numbers is the most difficult. 

With your hands alone, you can calculate any multiplication problem using these numbers (as long as they are single digits, of course). 

The first step of this technique involves ascribing the numbers 6-10 to your fingers. From here, the process is pretty simple. Check out the video below to see how you get to your answer!
