The Australian Curriculum helps teachers understand the progression which students need to learn their times tables. Students need a good understanding of number patterns and place value to help them use the times tables to mentally solve 2 and 3 digit multiplication problems in later years. Learning times tables by rote may mean they can accurately recall times tables but it also may mean they don’t understand how they came to the answer or are able to apply this knowledge to other math problems. Research has shown that rote learning is not the best approach to learn the times tables. Times Tables! Who remembers standing in front of the class having times tables races or rote learning (repeatedly saying) 1 x 4 is 4, 2 x 4 is 8, 3 x 4 is 12? Help your students/child have a good understanding of times tables without rote learning.
