It's 6+6+6+6. It isn't rocket science. That's all I did as a kid in my head and eventually it was just memorized.
And what extra is being taught to your kid now?

Would you rather your child not understand why 6x4 is 24, and instead just memorize it? How will that serve as a good base when your child needs to solve 354x286? Some of the complaints here are just asinine.
Which technique do you see applicable to solving 354*286? Double Facts? Number line? Serious question.
And when you type 6*4 is 24 - did you use a number line, double fact or did you just memorize it? Do you pull out the number line every time you add single digit numbers?
Why are memorizing certain 'facts' (ie 5,10s, and doubles) acceptable but anything else not constructive?
Again, not trying to be argumentative - just curious.
