With reports going out this week, it is common to see learning a particular set of multiplication tables written as one of a child’s targets for improvement. We often hear “How can I help my children memorise their multiplication tables at home?” Well it’s basically all down to practise, practise and even more practise, so here are a couple of website links that will help you support this practice at home with a variety of fun interactive online games to keep you all from boredom and frustration. Let me know your favourite games and let’s hope they help your child achieve those targets by the end of term! Of course in my day, I recall just reading and reading them over and over from my no-nonsense, pink “The Old Fashioned Multiplication Table Book.” No fun computer games in my day! Click on to find the game links…
Lots of links to fun games to test your knowledge of times tables.
Read the multiplication fact and bounce the ball off the correct segment.
Here are a couple of photos of that good old fashioned multiplication table book – oh it takes me back to the joys sitting in bed learning these for my 40/40 speed tests! Think it was stress of having the tests that actually made me learn them, not the book, but it all helped as I know my tables off by heart!
Does anyone else remember this book?
