“I love maths mum, I want to practice my Times Tables every day”!
There might be a few kids who say this but none of my children ever did! But miraculously they do now! Why? Because
I
invented a Times Table method that is hilariously funny and works.
The majority of children find learning their Times Tables difficult and frustrating but there is a solution, Table
Fables uses animation and humour to teach children maths.
Why Teach Maths Times Tables at all?
-
Reduces Maths Anxiety:
Children can find Times Table Tests incredibly stressful. If they perform badly in the Times Table Test this
leads them to think they are bad at maths, which isn't true. If children know their Times Tables off by heart
this decreases any anxiety they feel towards maths.
-
Frees Up Brain Space:
If children have high levels of anxiety surrounding Times Tables this blocks areas in the brain that performs
maths functions. If children know their Times Tables maths anxiety is reduced and the area of the brain that
controls mathematics CAN function properly.
-
Confidence:
Low Times Tables Knowledge = Low Maths Confidence.
Solid Times Table Knowledge = High Maths Confidence.
Surely my child will learn their Maths Times Tables at School?
The majority of schools will test your children on Times Table recall once a week or once a month. However, very few
schools TEACH maths Times Table recall. A few schools may use the chanting method that was popular decades ago and a
few schools will teach using songs but children have to learn 144 song lyrics, which even Beyonce might struggle
with!
Ask your child how they learn their Times Tables in maths lessons and how confident they feel about them? Heads up,
girls may fess up that they struggle with the maths Times Tables and boys will generally say everything's fine, "I'm
brilliant at maths" even though that's not the case!! Obviously this is a massive generalisation but thought we'd
pass on some observations we've witnessed.
How Do I Teach Maths Times Tables?
Human brains process visual information 60,000 times faster than text or numbers, meaning it's incredibly easy to
learn with images rather than singing or rote learning, which is exactly what Table Fables does. Every other website
makes children learn by repeatedly failing which can be very damaging for a child's mathematical confidence.
The brain processes visual information 60,000 times faster than text
Table Fables is based on the renowned scientifically proven peg system of memory which has incredible retention
levels. Each number is represented by a character, these characters interact in a comedic story to reveal the maths
Times Table answer. Children find it incredibly easy to remember their Times Table and enjoy the process of
learning.
Table Fables also has amazing games and competitions every month and cash incentives to keep children practicing.
Give your child a gift for life and make sure they can recall their maths Times Tables with ease as it reduces maths
anxiety, plus frees up brain space to concentrate on higher level maths problems.
Lastly and most importantly it's an incredibly useful skill as an adult!
