Beginner Level
Discover a NEW WAY of learning the multiplication tables. In this class we are breaking the rules of learning multiplication - no more memorizing, skip counting, singing songs or tricks - with Times Tales we simply sit back and listen to some stories with 6 lively characters. That's it! This award-winning program utilizes a right-brain, visual learning mnemonic method that 'triggers' a memory cue making recall of the upper times tables effortless and fun. Each class has a balance of lively, fun video clips, game-type questions, and opportunity for discussions with both teacher and fellow learners. ~ As long as the learners are paying attention and having fun ~ they WILL have the listed times tables mastered by the end of the class! 😊Part 1 Class is one hour in length and covers the following multiplication tables: 3x6, 3x7, 3x8, 3x9, 4x6, 4x7, 4x8, and 4x9. 😯Learners do NOT need to have mastered the lower times tables to be a part of this class - each student is welcome to come as they are! 🫣It is recommended that learners who complete Part 1 Class enroll in Part 2 Class. The combination of these classes results in children not just mastering the upper times tables, but they also are given the opportunity bring out their own unique self-confidence as the learner they were designed to be. Each child walks away being empowered, knowing that they have everything they need inside themselves to learn new things.
