🤩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. ⚠️Please note that there MUST be a minimum of 2 enrolled students for class to run. (If there are not enough students, you will be contacted by the teacher before class, given a refund and other options for taking the Times Tables Multiplication Mastery class.) 😊Split into three classes, we cover all those tricky upper times tables and even end with an introduction to division. Each class has a balance of lively, fun video clips, game-type questions, and opportunity for discussions with both teacher and fellow learners. Class 1 covers the following tables: 3x6, 3x7, 3x8, 3x9, 4x6, 4x7, 4x8, and 4x9. Class 2 covers the rest of the tables: 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 7x7 ,7x8 ,7x9 ,8x8, 8x9, and 9x9. Class 3 is an open-ended class where we play review and retention games before we end our time together with a no pressure, but highly popular - introduction to division the Times Tales way. 🙂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! The combination of all three 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. 📖 Please see SUPPLY LIST to purchase the optional - but recommended - workbook for this class.
