The 12 Days Song

The 3XME guide includes short stories which help you remember the most difficult 22 multiplication facts up to 12 x 12. The characters in the stories are based on the song 'The 12 Days of Christmas', or the '12 Days Song' for short.

Two versions of the song are available for free from the Downloads page.

The 12 Days Song is a gentle way to introduce which character is associated with which number from 1 to 12. Hints given in the 3XME guide make this easy to remember, so you don't need to know the words of the song. For example, the hint for seven is: 'A swan's head and neck look like the number SEVEN from the side'.
