FLASH THOSE CARDS
Create a set of flash cards of difficult times tables questions. Children may enjoy making these themselves. As your child memorises each question, remove it from the pile, giving a visual reminder of the progress they’ve made.
PLAY BALL
This game will test your child’s reflexes as well as their times tables. Two players stand a distance apart and throw a ball between each other. The thrower asks a question and the catcher has to answer before catching the ball.
