Independently published Times Tables Tricks: For Visual and Hands-On Learners

My grandson was sooooo resistant to memorizing the times tables. And his accuracy at multiplying on his fingers was slim. I bought this book to bridge the gap.He loved learning "tricks" (rebellious or criminal streak?) , and soon had accidentally learned the multiplication facts.

Absolutely brilliant book to try when “traditional” methods aren’t working. So many parents and teachers could use this book, I wish it was more widely known about.My 9 year old son has dyslexia and ADHD and even though he is good with other maths topics he struggled with times tables, especially 6,7,8,9 and 12.He not only got the tricks straight away but in his own words “I LOVE THEM!” I am so impressed how he immediately started trying calculations using the tricks. After years of tears with certain calculations he is not fighting multiplication sums.I have now bought some others by Lidia Stanton to teach spellings, learnings sequences such as months of the year etc.

Schwache Rechner können unmöglich ale Tricks anwenden (die muss man sich schließlich merken), aber einige für besondere Probleme machen Sinn. Ich bin begeistert und nutze es in der Lerntherapie für Dyskalkulie.

My 10 year old granddaughter has been struggling with multiplication, we tried everything, flash cards, looping problems while she slept.. nothing. She was starting a new school and super nervous about her math. I bought this book and couldn’t believe how easy it was. She called me on her way home from school yesterday and told me they had a 100 question multiplication test and she got 93 out of 100 right. She said “Mimi, it is all because of those tricks from that book you taught me” she was so happy I almost cried. Definitely worth it!!!

I am a literacy specialist but I am now teaching some numeracy. This book has got me excited about times tables again! I did the 12 times table trick with my Year 7 student and he loved it. Some of the tricks may be a bit complicated for younger learners but there is no doubt that this is hands on!
