10x Times Tables - 

The best way to start...

by Rob Jennings

Learning times tables and related division facts can be very difficult for those with Dyscalculia and maths difficulties.

It is important to focus on understanding that multiplication can be viewed as repeated addition or subtraction. We can use the 10 x and 5x keys facts to help find out any table fact by step counting.

Multi-sensory learning using the dot pattern for 10 laid out on a multiplication mat provides a good hands on and visual learning tool.
