"Times tables are the alphabet of maths" (Kev & Belinda)
I have had students in my class, even my daughter, struggle with their maths, especially when it comes to learning the x (times) tables. There are many ways to help children to instantly recall their x tables, however it really comes down to practice, practice, and more practice.
Do you have any tips, tricks or songs you used to learn/teach X (times) tables?

I loved teaching times tables. We used to do a lot of timed tests and as each kid mastered a factor they got another part of a banana split puzzle. At the end of the year we all had banana splits with everything they had earned!!
ReplyDeleteYum Banana Split! Now that would make me learn my times tables faster!
Deleteyay for times tables - excellent choice! i teach math but at the other end of the spectrum

Thanks for stopping by Tara! :) X was a tricky one for me, trying to fit it in with my blog too! Thankfully I pulled it off because I'm a teacher!
DeleteYes, practice is definitely the key!
