Teach Your Kids Math: Multiplication Times Tables - Paperback

Knowing multiplication tables is a key math skill. This is because multiplication tables are not only directly useful, but are also a foundation upon which other mathematical techniques are based - including multiplication of larger numbers, division, and fractions.

This book is a guide for parents wishing to help their kids master this important skill. It shows parents how to teach their kids in a simple step-by-step fashion, and includes numerous tips and tricks to help children remember, or work out, the answers.

Times tables from 0X0 to 12X12 are covered, and as well as the times tables themselves, the book also includes additional facts, such as common prefixes used for words relating to various numbers, how to quickly check if a number is in the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 10 times table, and more.

Author Biography

Sunil Tanna is an author, software developer, and tutor (math and science). He writes... My first real memory of reading a book was when I was five, in infants school. The teacher was conducting a very detailed and rather slow lesson on how to tell the time. I already knew how to tell the time, or at least I thought I did, and I was bored. The whole class was sitting on a mat, and I happened to be sitting near the back, next to a bookshelf. I took a book off the shelf about a group of school children who investigated, and eventually solved, a smuggling mystery. Completely absorbed, I sat quietly reading to myself. I don't think it was a huge book, it couldn't have been, but I amazed myself by managing to read the entire book cover to cover. Just as I turned the last page, I suddenly realised that the lesson was coming to an end. I remember worrying that I might have missed some vital new detail of telling the time that perhaps the teacher had slipped in during the second half of the lesson. Somehow however I survived. I've had a love of books ever since, although nowadays I generally try to choose more opportune moments to read them. As a writer, I hope to write about both my personal experiences, and the things that interest me most. Since I have quite an eclectic range of interests, you can expect a diverse range of books from me in future.
