Using the times tables chart
Times tables can be challenging to learn so here are some suggestions to make it fun and interesting for your child:
- Practice makes perfect – when learning a new times table have your child recite the times table from the chart.
- Focus on one factor at a time – Stick to one factor and ‘play’ with it until your child becomes familiar with it and its products. Remember – committing all the products to memory will take time, it won’t happen in one sitting!
- Work in sections – Start with the easier times tables – two, three, five and ten are generally the easier ones to learn.
- Simplify the task – If your child is only starting to learn the times tables it might be better to begin with the 1-5 times tables chart.
- Find the answer – call out random multiplication questions and have your child find the answer on the chart.
- Times Table Videos – there are many great videos online that you can use to help teach your child the times tables. See our times table video page for our recommendations >>.
- Hundreds Chart – use a hundreds chart to show your child how multiplication works. You can use a hundreds chart to demonstrate the multiplication patterns that each times table creates.
- Skip Counting – try teaching your child to skip count. Skip counting is when you count in increments other than one.For example skip counting by two goes like this: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. Skip counting is a good math skill for kids to learn – it improves their ability to understand multiplication, plus it gives children the ability to count objects faster (counting objects by two is much faster than counting by one). See our skip counting worksheets.
- Race against the clock – with a stop watch time how long it takes to recite a times table off the chart or from memory. Record the times so that you can have your child try to beat their best time.
- Remember – it doesn’t matter in what order the 2 numbers are that you are multiplying; the result will be the same. For example, 4 x 6 and 6 x 4 both equal 24. A lot of kids would know that 6 x 4 = 24, but if you asked them 4 x 6 they would scratch their heads.
1-10 Times Tables Summary
Teaching times tables can be difficult but, with the right tools and variety of approaches you can make it fun and interesting for your child.
Take care to ensure that you only use the chart as a teaching aid – children still need to understand the concept of “X lots of Y”.
