What to do When you Can't Do the Times Tables by STEVE CHINN

(These are the last remaining copies of the first edition. The second edition, with some additional material, is also available, but this is full of helpful tips and is nearly half the price of the second edition.)

Some Children (and adults) find that learning their times tables is virtually impossible. For many people the collection of math facts that make up the times tables seems to have no sense or reason.

The times tables work in this book is based on knowing a few easier facts and using understandable strategies to work out the other facts. These strategies will help other areas of number work as well.

The strategies are explained clearly and in detail so that as you progress you can shorten each method down until times tables can be produced quickly, accurately, and with understanding.

With a little time working with these methods you will start to develop new skills, new knowledge and a new confidence with numbers.

 

 

Barrier Busters  Many children do not know how to find out information for themselves. "Research" is just copied from the internet, without understanding either the content or its relevance to the curriculum, and children enter examination years with  bad habits and underdeveloped reading skills.

This user-friendly and practical handbook from a county Learning Support team gives KS 2-3 students a host of practical suggestions on dealing with questions like these:

  • How does what we’re doing now fit in with last week?
  •  How do I go about researching this topic?
  •  Have I understood what I’ve found out? 
  • What if I don’t understand? 
  • Is everything I read a fact?
