This is a book which takes an unusual twist on learning times tables as it teaches all multiplication and division facts up to 10 x 10 using the same successful formula as our other books ‐ the over‐learning principle
First published in May 2008 it has produced amazing results in its initial trials, and exceeded all expectationsMultiplication and division
Uses the ';over‐learning' principle as used in the other books
Produces exciting results
Does it work?The pre‐publication trials showed that the book was successful where many other methods had failed
Those individuals that have worked through the book have increased their skills with multiplication and division, with a major positive impact on other areas of their maths
Its success has meant that it is fast becoming one of our most popular books
Increases ability to multiply and divide
Aids development of other maths skills
Has proved to be successful where other methods have failedWhy does the book work so well?Firstly, it links all multiplication facts with the corresponding division facts
So whenever 7 x 6 = 42 or 6 x 7 = 42 is mentioned, 42 � 7 = 6 and 42 � 6 = 7 will also be practiced
We believe that it's vital to link multiplication to division, and that it aids memory and understanding to do so
Secondly, and most importantly, the order which the facts are introduced differs from the usual sequence
Students are normally taught to learn their times‐tables facts starting with the x2 table, moving on to x10 and x5
This is often followed by x3, x4, x6 and x9 before finally x8 and x7 are learnt
However, many students struggle to keep pace with the new facts which are introduced, and don't have the necessary repetition with the reinforcement they need
This traditional method often presents too many unknown facts in one go
Our book takes an unusual twist to remedy this issue
Linkage of multiplication to division
Formation of an understanding of the two processes

How is the book used?Full instructions and example pages are included in each book, but essentially Times Table requires that each question is answered correctly on three consecutive occasions on different days
When a question is answered correctly a tick should be placed on the line, a question answered incorrectly is marked with a dot
On each page of the book there is space for working out solutions, but students should be encouraged to carry out the calculations in this book without using pen and paper
It is not intended that certain pages should be used in isolation
Times Table has been found to work best when it is used 4 or 5 times a week, with each session lasting for about 10 to 15 minutes
Repetition through each question is being answered correctly on three different occasions
Questions to be answered on different days
Achievements through tangible success
