Why would she? I would be more worried if she was saying, "Oh boy, half an hour of rote application of memorization!" All you should care about for arithmetic memorization is getting through it as efficiently as possible.
If you're doing flashcards, then I would suggest a spaced repetition system such as SuperMemo or Anki. For actual math instead of memorization, do it with her. Nothing available today compares with direct interaction with a caring adult who knows the material.
- Stronico 7y agoSome kids do like doing that actually. I don't get it either. I also hated math when I was her age. It took till about 30 before I could see the beauty in mathematics. I will probably still do the flashcards with her - one thing (not mentioned in the original question come to think of it) is to build some independent study into her repertoire. Seemingly an app would be a good way to do that.
