Math books by Steve Chinn: "What to do when you can't..."

...Do the times Tables

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.

...Add and Subtract

In everyday life you are more likely to use addition and subtraction than any other mathematics procedure. This book carefully explains addition and subtraction, giving a clear understanding to help you learn these basic mathematical building blocks. Learning addition is used to help learn subtraction.

Effective multisensory techniques are used, combining speaking, listening, writing and seeing inputs to the brain.

Although there are practice examples throughout the book, this volume, like the one above, is not a book of exercises: it is designed to teach, and is written for parents and teachers who want to know how to help their children understand and learn. Also recommended for older learners who need clear explanations to rebuild skills.
