Time tables

My daughter needs to know her time tables after she goes back to school. Her class was doing time tables for quite a while, but when I checked her knowledge, I discovered that she still needed more practice. She is too slow and has to think too much about each answer.

I explained to her, that unfortunately, she has to learn them by heart, whether she likes it or not.

To speed the process, I prepared her 24 questions to be done in the morning. Another sheet will be waiting ready for her in the afternoon. It takes a bit of effort on parent's side, but it won't last long. It is a boring way of learning, but you don't need computers to learn time tables. You just need practice. As soon as your child sees you are strict about his maths, he will learn it. Without time tables your child will not be able to carry on with any maths.
