Timetables Cards – Print them out and use them at home. TIP – when you print them, click print and then click the downward arrow next to ‘full page slide’ and select 2 or 4 to a page. This will make the cards smaller.
- Practice the table with your child for 5 minutes each day. It is important to say the whole table and not just the answers again and again and again.
- Break down each table into manageable chunks
- Work on pairs of tables e.g. if learning the 2x timetable the doubling method can assist with calculating the 4x timetable.
- Test your child by firing questions at them, out of order, reminding them they can use facts to work out trickier ones e.g. if they know 4×6=24 than double to find 8×6.
- Revisit previously learned facts to check they still remember these.
- Use a range of vocabulary e.g. times, multiplied, sets of, lots of.
