Welcome to the wonderful mini world of Maths Times Tables.

Just like learning to walk before you can run, learning multiplication and memorising the times tables are building blocks for other maths topics taught in school - higher learning such as division, long multiplication, fractions and algebra.

Children need to understand the times tables and they also need to memorise them. They need to learn early on about the repetition of numbers and the addition of numerous numbers. You can work with them as they learn the basics.

Knowing your multiplication facts is helpful not only in academics; we frequently use multiplication in our daily lives. Knowing the times tables can help simple tasks to be performed rapidly and save time and stress.

As the old saying goes, practice make perfect!
