My dd really struggles in math specially multiplication... A tutor is coming to our house once or twice a week and she has tried pretty much anything.. from flashcards, writing them down, playing games.. nothing seems to help.. it simply wont stick in her head..

any ideas..

I had the same problem and no matter how hard I tried I could not memorize those things.
however, I graduated high school with college math credits because I was one of 6 at my school who passed the ap calculus exam.
keep at it but don't let it hold her back
