Calculating the times tables

Hello. Today, I'll discuss times tables as they're fundamental to math, and without them, advancing in math is difficult. It's important for children to have multiple ways of recalling information rather than relying on repetitive worksheets.Parents can help by using various methods like card games or tic-tac-toe with times tables questions. These engaging activities reinforce learning in a fun way.When teaching times tables, it’s better not to follow the order 1-12 but start with easy ones like 2s, 5s, 10s, and then move onto tricks for others like the nines. For instance, when multiplying by nine you can use finger tricks or add up digits in your answer to see if they total nine—this confirms you've got it right.For harder tables like sevens or sixes break them down using known facts from easier tables. Slow and steady learning ensures solid understanding before moving forward.To support this learning process we send out resources via email including games and colouring activities linked to different times tables each month.
