Product Description:

So, you've tried the "conventional" methods of helping your child memorize his tables. Maybe you've even tried singing the tables, but he wasn't an auditory learner. Drills fall flat, because you have to memorize the tables before you can succeed. Even after practice, practice, practice, you're wondering if they'll ever really stick. Well, here's a novel approach - actually, more of a "short story" approach. Judy Liautaud has come up with some cute, and memorable, little stories to help fix these facts finally in the mind's eye, using a visual-memory-association technique that just may work for your little multiplier. Numbers become characters or objects in visuals and storylines in which the product is an integral part. Yeah, some of them are silly - all the better to remember them by. You know, I almost wrote a book like this after teaching the twins their tables. We used similar mnemonic devices and silly sayings like "76 trombones in the big parade....and 42 clowns!" and "He licks (six) his plate (eight) before he ate (forty-eight)" and a football game tied 7 to 7 until the 49ers got a last-minute touchdown. Okay, they're goofy, but they work! These were our particular problem products, but Judy's got all the tables covered. This activity book contains all of the "tricks" and stories to get your child through the tables, plus "Make Your Own Posters" and "Make Your Own Flashcards" sections so your student can also create his own helpful tools.

Category Description for Times Tables the Fun Way:

Who says memorizing math facts is boring? Let’s face it, endless worksheets and flashcards, and even math fact songs can be uninspiring to budding mathematicians. Well, here's a novel approach – actually, more of a "short story" approach. Judy Liautaud has come up with some cute, and memorable, little stories to help fix these facts firmly in the mind's eye, using a visual-memory-association technique that just may work for your blossoming multiplier.

The stand-alone Student Kit contains everything necessary for students to master multiplication facts! The Kit contains three components: The Story Book, the Workbook, and the Clue Cards. Using a story method, the colorfully illustrated Story Book offers nine chapters and an introduction to zero that provide visual clues to a related story that help children associate numbers to math facts (0-9). It also includes a Pre and Post Test. The consumable Student Workbook provides a quick overview for the parent/teacher, a lesson plan outline and black and white worksheets, timed practice sheets, pretest/posttest, and quizzes. The Student Workbook is reproducible for a single classroom or family. Answers are found in the back of the book. The Clue Cards cover multiplication facts 1-9. Double-sided, the math problems are on one side with answers on the back. Trickier problems (math facts 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s and 8s) are illustrated, while the 1s, 2s, 5s and 9s are not. Black and white.

Also available is the complementary Times Tables Activity Book with black and white illustrations from the Times Tables the Fun Way stories that students can color and cut out. Use with or without the Student Kit or Story Book.

We are also offering the Story Book separately for families who simply want to use the stories without the related worksheets or flashcards.

Meeting the needs of visual learners, Times Tables the Fun Way provides all learners with a unique and fun way to master multiplication facts. ~Deanne

I am tutoring some kids this summer and I used to use this when I taught Middle School. I have made some practice sheets to go along with the pictures. It worked for my students. I need my own copy of the stories.

I chose this book because I remember using these exact illustrations when I was learning my times tables in elementary school and I still recall them when using multiplication as an adult! Now that my child is learning times tables, I am confident that this book will help her retain what she is learning and excel in multiplication!

Excellent Way to Learn Multiplication
This product taught my son how to multiply through stories. My son has autism and had problems learning multiplication. When we tried this workbook along with the companion book, he learned the multiplication facts. I can't say enough about this book. It is amazing.
