![]() I'm Ged, Co-founder of Komodo, ex-maths teacher and dad. You can use the piles to target practice another day.Īnd what about the 11x and 12x tables I hear you say - We'll be back with these shortly! ![]() If correct but hesitant it goes on the "hesitant" pile and if wrong or unknown. If they answer correctly and fast (within 5 seconds) it goes on the "fluent" pile. Along the lines of Snap, the learner turns a card over and shouts out the missing numbers. To turn it into a game make a series cards using the template. Eventually move to only giving the multiple (42) and the learner finds two factors (6, 7). Start off easy - with the two smaller multiplication facts ( eg 6, 7 ) and leave the answer blank (42) then move on to examples with the answer and one factor (eg 42 & 7 with 6 blank). The idea is to print the blank template, cut it up, and write 2 of the 3 numbers of each fact card. You can turn this learning tip into a Kitchen table card game using this printable example(pdf) and this printable blank template (pdf). Let's take a closer look: The Multiplication-Division Connection When a learner makes this connection, they'll end up mastering their times tables AND division in one go. So, for instance, learning that 56, 7 and 8 are connected actually means you've just learned: 8 x 7 = 56 7 x 8 = 56 56 ÷ 7 = 8 56 ÷ 8 = 7 Each times tables fact is actually closely connected to three other facts - two division facts and one multiplication. ![]() In a similar way, learning multiplication tables becomes easier when you make the connection to division. Have you ever noticed how it's easier to remember someone's first name when you hear their full name? ( Don't miss the idea for how to build this into a "kitchen table" activity, you'll find it at the end of the article.) There are many approaches to learning tables and they all have their merit - here's a learning tip you may want to try out. When your child achieves this - which is often at ages 8 or 9 - they also get an extra boost in confidence. Mastering multiplication tables is a well-known key milestone in primary maths.
