For the longest time, T1 has struggled with her multiplication tables. At this level doing Standard Two work, she needs to know her times table up to 6. Next year when she does Year 4 work, she’ll need to know it till ?? possibly 6 as well but I could be wrong. The multiplication tables were exposed to her during Chinese New Year this year and from then, I have been trying to encourage her to learn it.

Life for HER would be so much simpler.

But studying from a piece of paper is so boring and unless Mama has time to actually test her regularly, the facts will not retain. She understands the concept, which is good, so at worst case, she would draw lines out to count and group them. She does division the same way. But if only she just knew her times table, life for her really would be so much simpler!

Then I met my cousin’s son, who was in Standard Two in Kuen Cheng Primary and he knew his times table up to 12 REALLY WELL. I was well impressed and asked him how he had learnt it. He said he was made to recite it at school ALOUD like a soldier. Too funny.

So I made T1 recite her times tables aloud for a few days. TECKKKKKK!!!!!

Fail.

Then! A wonderful friend introduced me to Squeebles. Tadaaaaaaa!!!!

Both my daughters love playing. They have loved playing since the second they were born. And with Squeebles, it’s all about releasing those ugly aliens. But you can’t release them if you don’t know your times tables……A-Hah!

So what do you do? You practise and play, play and practise, and practise and play and before you know it, HEY! You know your multiplication tables already! How cool is that.

So that, is how T1 learned her multiplication tables.

You are welcome.
