More about our books...
'Teach Your Child Multiplication is another really useful publication that I will refer to many times.’ – Claire, Crouch End, London
'From a parent's point of view, I think I Know My Times Tables was really good. The bits that appealed to me most were the tips and ideas. As a "numbers" person myself, I have always used different methods and "patterns" to get to answers and I was really pleased to see that the tips and ideas picked up on this type of thing as I think children remember things in different ways, and this helps to look at the times tables in new ways rather than just a list of numbers they have to learn. I also like the game suggestions and the proformas at the back that can be used over again. I think that the approach is fun which is much more appealing to children.
'My son who is just 9 (Year 4) also really liked the ideas and tips section of the sheets and it was great to see him get excited about the patterns that the numbers made and seeing the ideas settle in his head. He also really liked the games, in particular the multiplication speed sort, the times table board and the times table racetrack – probably because he is a bit competitive! It has great ideas, and it keeps things interesting for him while he is learning – can't be bad!
'A good job well done, making numbers an interesting thing to learn. This book certainly does a good job in making learning fun – well done.' – Julia
'My daughter has always struggled with her times tables, and her school won't use rhymes for learning. She has trouble in particular with her 7 and 8 times tables – don't ask me why! I got her to recite the 8 times table, and she got stuck in exactly the same place she always has. Then she learnt the 8 times table rhyme and started singing it whilst dancing around the house, and within a short time she was remembering it perfectly.
'[I know my times tables] showed her that it was alright to learn in a different way than she was taught at school (mums, of course, don't know these things!). She's said that she can't wait to look at the rest of the book as it was fun – and this from a child who struggles at maths! So all in all, a success I'd say.' – Jacqui Leech
'I have puchased many of the eBooks, which I find invaluable.' - Survey respondent
‘I like the books like I know my times tables and Spelling Made Magic as I can go through them as many times as I like.’ – Survey respondent
