Bethany (Time Tables)

This mum contacted me in mid May and asked the following:

“Now that I’m my son’s maths teacher, I realise how little of the times tables he knows.  He’s great at understanding maths, but this week was all about multiplication and his lack of quick recall made it hellish and knocked his confidence.  I’ve tried computer games, flash cards, song.  Do you have any hints or ideas?”

I shared the link to a video on my website “A different approach to times tables”…

And the result 6 weeks later:

“The learning the number patterns really helped.  My son now knows 90% of his times tables.  It’s awesome. It’s really sped up his mental maths.  Thanks so much.”
