Charlie and I sat down this year to discuss his journey into Homeschooling. As we was talking I begin to think about next year and not knowing if we would continue to homeschool Charlie or if he would return to public school.
I found myself panicking as I knew there would be plenty of things that I may or may not know how to teach Charlie. One of those classes would be math. Charlie will be a frustrated child who is attempting to memorize the multiplication tables?
If you or your children are frustrated or you have a friends child who is attempting to memorize the multiplication tables, you should read this article that containing eight resources for Learning. For my family, I will be printing them out for us as well as some of the parents in our neighborhood.
Hundreds of kids have learned their time’s tables in an hour using this fun & easy to understand animated video. Times Tales DVD is a two-part video series that uses stories to teach multiplication to kids.
The videos use cute, simple stories that provide students with a “memory peg,” allowing them to recall otherwise abstract multiplication facts quickly. As students progress through the video, they’ll learn multiplication without even knowing it! It’s that easy!
