How Can I Help At Home?

To help your child learn their tables say them forwards and backwards with them in order e.g one two is two, two twos are four, three twos are six. Saying them in this way helps them answer division questions: how many twos in six? Three twos are six. So six divided by two is three.

When they get confident ask them at random.

Remember 5 – 10 minutes a day is the best way to learn.

This oral repeated practise is a great way to learn and make it fun. There are lots of timestable songs online and games to play.
