What parents say...

“I Love to Learn really helped me prepare for my entrance exam.  I give I Love to Learn 10/10.  I Love to Learn helped me understand pie charts, algebra and story writing.  I enjoyed coming to I Love to Learn and would love to come back in the future.”
-Ollie, Student in Portsmouth
Albie
Albie had been diagnosed with mild dyslexia and his reading age was around 2 years behind!  The standard in private school is often higher, so we were worried about the Entrance Exams.  Soon after he enrolled he started making rapid progress.  The school say he is now Level  5 in literacy and the teacher can see a lot of difference.  His reading age has shot up and the gaps in maths have been filled in and he has caught up amazingly quickly. It has definitely, definitely made a difference and I have recommended the centre to my friends.
Jilly (Albie’s Mum)
She is a quiet girl and I was concerned that her poor spelling was not being corrected.  When she saw the progress Bella was making in such a short time, I enrolled her for Maths as well!   It has transformed her thinking and she now has the self-esteem to ask questions in both numeracy and literacy.

Times tables are really important in math and life. Here’s why:

1. Practical Use: We use multiplication in everyday situations like shopping or dividing things evenly among friends. Knowing times tables helps us quickly and accurately calculate these things.

2. Building Blocks: Times tables are the foundation of maths. They’re essential for understanding advanced concepts in algebra, geometry, and calculus. Without them, it’s harder to solve complex problems.

3. Mental Maths Skills: Memorizing times tables improves our ability to do calculations in our heads. It boosts critical thinking and makes us more confident in our math skills.

4. Academic Success: Knowing times tables helps us understand math better and perform well in exams. They make learning new maths operations easier and give us a solid foundation for higher-level maths.

So, how can we master times tables?

– Firstly, practice! Regularly use flashcards, online games, or math drills to reinforce multiplication facts and improve recall speed.
– Look for patterns and relationships between numbers. This helps us understand the logic behind times tables and makes solving problems easier.
– Don’t forget to make it fun! Find creative ways to practice, like creating songs or using manipulatives, to make learning times tables enjoyable.

Remember, mastering times tables is key to excelling in maths and everyday life.

Competition Time

So, let’s see how fast can you roll the times tables on your hands?  Roll them through, time yourself and enter our competition.

Year 2& 3 roll 2x 5x 10x 11x

Year 4,5 & 6 roll 3x 4x 6x 8x
