Novel approach to learning time tables

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Table Fables is a novel approach to learning time tables. The novelty is that they have a plan to encourage the children to practice their tables every day for a number of consecutives days and then they will be able to get a reward.

So other than most programs, here hard work and consistent learning is rewarded rather than getting it right. The program is based on the peg memory system and every number is related to a character who will interact with other characters in funny videos to reveal the answer to a multiplication problem.

There are various levels of practice and checking to help the children through this process.

You can try it free for seven days and you can book a free class HERE

One species of frog bases its entire mating ritual on number: If a male calls out — a whining pew followed by a brief pulsing note called a chuck — his rival responds by placing two chucks at the end of his own call. The first frog then responds with three, the other with four, and so on up to around six, when they run out of breath.
