Wouldn't it be nice for your child to know their multiplication facts?

 

Does your child have a hard time memorizing their multiplication facts?  

 

Does not knowing their times tables slow them down from learning higher grade-level skills like fractions, division, and decimals?

​

The Times Tables the Fun Way class teaches kids to learn multiplication by associating each fact with a colorful story.  Visual association and clever stories make learning fun and effective.

 

Example: To teach 6x6, the story tells of twin sixes crossing the desert and getting low on water. The picture shows tired and drooping sixes; they are very thirsty sixes. Which sounds like 36, the answer to 6x6.

 

In the course, 

• your child will learn their multiplication facts by associating each fact with “number characters” in a story

• All facts for the threes, fours, sixes, sevens, and eights are taught with pictures and stories. 

• Numerical tricks are used to teach the zeroes, ones, twos, fives, and nines. (Each fact is addressed once and not taught in reverse order.) 

• The commutative property is explained so students learn, for example, that 6 x 7 is the same as 7 x 6.

• In the beginning, story clues will be given to trigger the answers to the facts. 

• Once the stories are thoroughly learned and practiced, your child will bypass the story when remembering the facts!!

 

Provided with the class will be: ​

• A Google Classroom with all of the lessons and activities.

• Links to videos of stories & songs for each of the 16 facts

• Downloadable flashcards with pictures to represent the stories they are taught

Disclaimer: 

This class does not guarantee the automaticity of the multiplication facts.  Your child will be taught various numerical tricks/strategies and mnemonic picture stories.   Success will depend on the adequate practice of applying the strategies and stories they are taught.
