Many parents struggle to help their children learn times tables using rote learning which children find boring and dull.

There is an easy, enjoyable way to remember the times tables if you know where to look. So, where do you find he answer? Who can give you this answer?  How do you start?

For the answers we need to look at those with the best memories, the memory champions. The Learning Well has done just this and has made these champion methods simple and easy for parents and children to understand.

We still expect our children to learn by rote, just because that is the way that we learned when at school. For example 1×3 is 3, 2×3 is 6, 3×3 is 9 and so on.

Dominic O’Brien eight times world memory champion set a world record for remembering numbers.  If the memory champions like Dominic learnt by rote the records achieved would be massively short of the amazing standards reached.

Dominic O’Brien and those that have set the records are not geniuses, they themselves say that they use simple techniques that anyone can use and with practice and achieve great feats of memory.

Alan McMahon of The Learning Well said to parents recently –

“Think what a difference it would make to your children if you knew how to use these techniques for learning Times Tables and mental maths. Your children’s confidence in maths will grow  as their abilities are greatly improved and schoolwork becomes easier and easier”.

The Learning Well workshops will focus on teaching parents a set of easy and fast methods and techniques unique to The Learning Well that greatly improve children’s abilities in times tables and mental maths. Parents will then be able to make maths fun and help their children improve their abilities in school.

Sarah Monks, mother to 6 year old and 9 year old daughters, said;

“My husband was totally amazed to see the transformation in my daughter’s times table abilities after only an hour of using the method. The result was brilliant and my daughters learned and remembered the tables in only a few days. I took years to learn the tables when I was at school.”

To attend the Free Workshops, Parents can visit www.Meetup.com/The-Learning-well, or Contact Alan McMahon at The Learning Well.

It would be great to see you there.

The words you use can have a tremendous affect on how we view something.

Do you notice how when a child is given maths homework that the written questions are often called ‘problems’.

How do you feel when you think of a problem? 

It is something that you think of as an easy thing to deal with or do you think of a problem as being difficult, an obstacle to be overcome?

A friend of mine asked my advice because he could not motivate his son to do any maths problems at home. After talking to his son I told him that the ‘problem’ is in fact the ‘problem’.  The problem was the use of the words ‘maths problems’ and that there was an easy way to motivate his son to enjoy and do maths. Here is what I did.

I set my friend a question for his son and told him to tell his son that had a ‘puzzle’ for him.

Straight away his son’s reaction was different and he attempted to work out the answer. The boy was motivated to solve the ‘puzzle’.

The question I set was taken from an exam paper on which it was called ‘a problem’.  There is not a huge difference between the words problem and puzzle in the dictionary but when people speak about those words they dislike problems and yet love puzzles just like my friend’s son did.

If you want your children to do more difficult maths questions at home then don’t call them problems instead call them ‘puzzles’. 

Remember to choose your words wisely.  They have the power to affect the actions of your children.

What questions should you ask your children to help them remember and learn their tables?

To test our children when learning multiplication tables we usually ask questions all beginning with the word ‘WHAT’.

For example:

What is 6 x 8?

What is 9 x 6?

It seems obvious that asking ‘WHAT’ this is the right thing to ask.

It is ‘a’ right thing to ask, however, there is another question, a very powerful question that can be asked that will aid and massively increase children’s ability in remembering their multiplication tables.

If you want to be the best in life then the thing to do is to learn from those people who are the best at at that thing. We do not need to reinvent the wheel all we need to do is find and copy outstanding people, role models, and learn from what they do.

So if you want to remember something why not use as your role model the very best people that there at remembering. Who are these people? You’ve probably seen these people on TV, they are the memory champions, such as Dominic O’Brian, those who can seemingly effortlessly remember dates, places, people, countless facts, massive lists of objects.

How do they do it and can we learn from them and apply that knowledge to help our children to remember their tables? You bet we can and in a very easy way that will make a huge difference!

Location is the answer!

The way these champions remember is to link the facts, objects etc to a location, to a place. They imagine the fact or object to be at a particular location and if they have to remember a sequence they turn that sequence into a sequence of places or a journey.

These experts then remember the locations or journey and this enables them to recall all those facts.

When learning tables in The Learning Well and Times Table Maths.com, we do not rote learn as most people do because multiplication tables are not learned well this way. If you ask a child a multiplication table, very often the response is to go through all the multiplication tables from the beginning until they get to the one being asked. Have you seen this? We have on countless occasions.

What is needed instead is an instant recall method.

We use the idea of locations and places to help children remember in an instant, in a split second.

So we use printable math sheets that we call Memory Sheets and place them in various locations. Children then remember the location and their multiplication tables easily and with instant recall.

So, coming back to this idea of questions, we said that ‘WHAT’ was ‘a’ right question and now there is another question, a very powerful question to ask, and that is ‘WHERE’?

For your children to learn their tables, questions are definitely the answer to multiplication tables, but not just WHAT, also the very powerful question linked to the idea of location and that is; WHERE?

Children using this method have achieved outstanding results with minimum effort and so can yours! Why not have a look at the rest of the Blog and our free reports to see more on this and why it is so powerful and helping children learn their tables.
