Chalk 'Line There s Better Way to Teach Times Tables BONNIE SMITH Special to the Lakeside Review Dear Bonnie, I am going to go crazy if my child doesnt learn the times ta ! pretty Jbles t soon. I have done every- but thing make, her p ra cti c e them under-wateMy patience is ri completely! gone and if I see. one more v flash card I V V, fwiir scream. ' Perhaps if I BONNIE SMITH make her eat the flash cards she will internalize the material! If you have any ideas, Id love to : hear them before I eat the flash ' cards myself. Thanks. ; , V- - - B.T. ,v ' y i Dear B.T., y Move your litter, and Ill bet there are many parents (and children) who relate to, your sen timents. A word of caution be fore I go on. Extreme retention, problems can be a flashing warning signal. You may want to check with your childs teacher in case there is more here than meets the eye. . In my opinion, there is an infi- nitely better way to teach times tables. Our traditional system is not all bad, because there are many students who do succeed and we parents made it through the same program. I believe, however,, that there are far too many children getting to junior high level who do not have a working knowledge of basic times tables. (How they sur- vive fourth, fifth and sixth grades with division and fractions amazes me.) Teachers are putting the time in, but I think they are at a disadvantage when teaching with the traditional Then the latter half of this lengthy memorization process is so heavy that kids get bogged down and learn bits and pieces of the remainder rather than gaining a thorough working ' knowledge. Imagine a childs situation, not knowing many of the upper level times facts, when faced with a double-digmultiplication assignment! 'An alternative method allows the child to be successful through so many of the tables that the hard ones dont seem so ominous. Zeros and ones always come easily to children; anything times zero is zero and anything times one is itself. The rule should be. memorized. Once the child can do written and oral problems quickly and correctly they should need only periodic plan. The standard method is to have the children work their way up through the tables, beginning with zeros, ones, twos, etc., through 12s. With this method we usually see them do pretty well until the sixes and sevens. . ; : it . review. Then a master test should be written up. No zeros, ones, or duplicates are necessary in the' test - only 66 problems. Every problem from here on should be taught reversibly (5x3 and 3 x 5 always have the same answer and should be taught simulta -- neously, thus making one problem out of two). The first four tables that should be taught one at a time and in this order are 10s, fives, twos and 1 Is (the latter just up x 9).c through The children should be taught to count by these so even if they forget something they can quickly count it out and still get it right. .This way they are successful and begin to think times tables are actually fun. At this point they have learned 37 out of 66 facts and rather enjoyed it, so when they are told that there are only 29 more to learn, it almost sounds easy. Tests are wonderful. When the 10s are learned, kids are tested, of course, only on the tens and they get them right. Success affects memory, and when children are getting perfect scores on almost every test, it is not long before material is memorized rather than being figured out. Alloted test time should be about one problem per second. Fives are not added to the test until they are mastered; then 1 1 , Darts Set To Perform In Musical served seats.- - iV ed V ' y relations department.

Problems should be a mix of easy and more difficult so all the 12s need not be learned 4he same week. On Monday the new ones are introduced, drilled every way imaginable throughout the day and week, and sent home to parents. These problems are not included in the daily tests until the following week when they are well learned. Also, the newly-- ; learned problems must not all be at the end, but rather at random locations throughout the tests. This process continues until all 29 problems have been added to the test. At this point, the master test comes out of cold storage. The student can usually complete 4he test in 66 seconds and numerous editions of'the test should be given and corrected every day for the remainder of the school year.

At this point the test has 37 problems which they are getting correctly almost every. day. Two special comments on tests: 1. Any teacher who gives the same times test every day with all the problems in the same order is not teaching times facts. Any child will tell you that all they have to do is memorize the order of the answers to get 100 percent, and it is not long before they are not looking at the problems at all. Four or five different editions of the same test should be made up. This way the order is different every time the child takes the test, and the, problem must be mentally noted before an answer can be written. 2. On different tests, many problems ishould be reversed (on one test 5x3 and on another 3 room workers, and the bus drivers were surprised with several: activities that; let them know v: they were appreciated.' first the of the' During part week, each! of the teachers and workers were treated to a, jar of candy with a counted Cross stitch jar top.
