Times Tables

Introduction

This book takes an unusual twist on learning times tables.  It teaches all multiplication and division facts up to 10 x 10 and it uses the same successful formula as our other books - the overlearning principle,  .It has just been published (May 2008) and has produced amazing results in its initial trials.

Why the book works

Firstly, it links all multiplication facts with the corresponding division facts.  So whenever 7 x 6 = 42 or 6 x 7 = 42 is mentioned, 42 ÷ 7 = 6 and 42 ÷ 6 = 7 will also be practiced.  We believe that it's vital to link multiplication to division, and that it aids memory and understanding to do so.

Secondly, and most importantly, the order which the facts are introduced differs from the usual sequence.
Students are normally taught to learn their times-tables facts starting with the x2 table, moving on to x10 and x5. This is often followed by x3, x4, x6 and x9. Finally, x8 and x7 are learnt. However, many students struggle to keep pace with the new facts which are introduced and don't have the necessary repetition and reinforcement they need.
Whenever tables are re-introduced, it is often in the form of needing to learn a set list of facts linked to one number, such as the 7 times table. This can have the affect of presenting too many unknown facts in one go.  Our book takes an unusual twist to remendy this issue.
