TIMES TABLES RHYMES!
Presenting our latest book…
★FUN TIMES TABLES RHYMES★
– Making learning the TOP 20 Trickiest Times Tables FUN and easy!
Many children find learning the Times Tables tricky! Some Times Tables questions are trickier to remember the correct answer to than others.
We have written 20 Rhymes, which teach the trickiest Times Tables facts and make it FUN and EASY!
We’ve also specifically designed it with visual and auditory learners in mind.
This book teaches the Times Tables in a unique way. It is a book of mathematical Rhymes which first tells a Rhyme, followed by a matching Times Table question and answer! The Rhymes have two verses that reinforce the commutative nature of multiplication. This means the order in which you multiply the numbers does not change the product; for example, 7 x 8 = 56 and 8 x 7 = 56.
Each Times Table Rhyme has a character or item which Rhymes with the number in focus:
E.g: Seven apes had a fidgety itch... 7x8=56. An ape had seven fluffy chicks... 8x7=56.
Four pirates sailed with their dirty crew... 4x8=32. The pirates fought over what to do... 8x4=32.
Each Times Table Rhyme in the book uses the same “Rhyming Couplet” format, containing a memorable story Rhyme that Rhymes with a Times Table fact, enabling each tricky Times Table to be learnt in easy chunks.
There are 20 different Fun Times Tables Rhymes, showcased in full-page format and at the back of the book in a smaller-sized set for you to cut out (handy for 1-1 teaching and learning). It also contains a certificate to cut out, personalise and celebrate learners’ success when they learn all of the Rhymes.
Learners will enjoy learning and saying the Rhymes repeatedly. Each Rhyme has a natural rhythm and beat. This, combined with the visual memory hooks, helps learners to remember the 20 tricky Times Tables easily.
This rhyming method provides an easy strategy for remembering the times tables. Research suggests that learning through Rhyme reduces the stress some learners feel when asked to practise the Times Tables and answer questions in timed conditions or on-the-spot questions while achieving the same goals.

A FEW WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR
I studied my Bachelor of Education (Hons) degree at the leading teacher training college in Worcester, England.
I’ve taught for many years in a range of primary school settings, working with SEND children in mainstream schools. I know what makes children tick, and what helps them to learn and remember. The power of Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic learning to hook and engage learners has been my main go-to over the years! This, along with having FUN while learning.
It’s well-known that children happily and quickly memorise song lyrics, yet some children find recalling the Times Tables difficult and stressful. Pop songs are often written in rhyme. Rhyme repetition is good for the brain, improving memory, concentration, spatial intelligence and thinking skills. Because verses are made up of patterns, they are easy to remember.
Research suggests that the brain processes rhymes through acoustic encoding, which makes it easier for the brain to recall them.
Through my work as a primary mathematics consultant, I am privileged to have worked in many primary schools and academies, supporting teachers and teaching assistants to improve standards in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Through this work, I saw firsthand how knowledge, understanding and fluency in the Times Tables vastly improve children’s progress in mathematics.
When my daughter started to learn the Times Tables, like a lot of learners, she found learning them tricky! My daughter and I enjoyed making up some fun Times Tables Rhymes together. Besides being lots of fun, the Rhymes helped her to remember what she previously couldn’t, and this is how the book ‘Fun Times Tables Rhymes’ began.
