WIN - Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables
Nate-no my now 8 year old left the house this morning saying "I LOVE SCHOOL - I can't wait to do math today". Isn't that what every mother wants to hear her kids say about School and math? It is obvious to me that he is having a blast with his teacher this year as they learn math. But, I know that is not the case for every child and possibly won't always be how Nate -no feels about math or even school.
When did you lose interest in math? Never had any? Maybe, but Eugenia Francis knows exactly when it started to happen to her son. The moment? The dread rite of passage all children face: the multiplication tables.
As her son struggled with endless drills, Francis realized there had to be a better way. Why not learn the tables in context of one another and emphasize the commutative property (i.e. 4 x 6 is the same as 6 x 4) of the multiplication tables? Francis drew a grid for tables 1-10 and discovered patterns for her son to decode. The mysteries of the times tables unfolded as a daily exploration of "magic" never discussed in his third-grade class. Their fridge eventually was papered with patterns that made the times tables intriguing. "Patterns made my son smile," Francis says. "He could see the structure and knew he got it right."
Ever the creative educator, Francis taught college English. "Patterns whether in literature or math," she says, "reveal the underlying structure. There is an inherent simplicity in them, an inherent beauty. Math should engage your child's imagination."
At the kitchen table, Francis applied her skills to math. Why not learn the tables in order of difficulty? Tables 2, 4, 6 and 8 are easy to learn as they end in some combination of 2-4-6-8-0. Tables for odd numbers also have distinct patterns. Why not a more creative approach? Thus was born Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables, Fun, Fast and Easy with Dazzling Patterns, Grids and Tricks!
Patterns appeal to children. Learning to recognize patterns teaches analytical skills. A review in California Homeschool News stated: "My daughter thinks it's is lots of fun. She's already had quite a few 'ah-ha moments as she recognizes and predicts the various patterns." Patterns enhance recall. "Children with ADHD, dyslexia and autism do well with my method," Francis says.
Parents and teachers must ensure children learn the multiplication tables. "Without them a child is doomed," Francis states. A child who has not mastered the times tables has difficulty succeeding in mathematics beyond the third grade.
"Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables" will help your child or classroom discover easy patterns for tables 1-10. Patterns enhance recall. Designed for Grades 2 -4, this innovative workbook can be used as a primary or supplemental text in the classroom, homeschool or with special needs children.
