Read aloud with friends and family! Hours of FUN... and... LEARNING! Age 5-11 This book is ideal to help your child learn their times tables in a relaxed way and will also boost their confidence in maths. Children can test their progress and try to win the 'Challenge Cup'! At the back of the book there are 2 times table grids which you can photocopy and then use to test their times table knowledge. The tests will improve accuracy and speed of recall of multiplication facts in a limited time period. Can YOU become a 'Times Table Champ or Super-Champ?' The book has been developed by Chris Davies, a primary teacher with over 25 years experience of teaching maths and helping pupils to achieve well at their SATs. The rhymes will help your child to develop greater confidence and learn their times tables using a fun, more informal method. Each rhyme (linked to a particular times table) tells a story and this will help your child to internalise and memorise the number pattern more quickly and will also help them to develop faster recall of their multiplication facts. Reading the rhymes together (with a parent, grand parent, teacher or sibling) will definitely add to the learning experience. Chris gives details of how to maximise the learning potential of the rhymes in a short section at the front of the book. Learning your times tables has never been so easy or so much fun! 'Trips and Treats' is the first book in the 'Times Table Time & Rhyme' series. The second book, 'Terrifying Times Tables' is out now and is receiving great reviews - and so is the third title in the series, 'Fabulous Football Times Tables'. Learn the rhymes - learn your times tables!!!
