A small-step plan for learning times tables
Build a few useful facts, then connect the rest to what your learner already knows.
Make a multiplication game a thinking game
A game is most helpful when a child can explain the number decision inside it.
A grown-up’s five-minute game check
Check the experience yourself before handing over a new learning game.
What is free on Little Learners?
Browser games, practice tools and printable pages are available without an email wall.
A gentler multiplication practice routine
Use a small set, a useful correction and a clear stopping point.
Choose a worksheet a beginning learner can use
Start with objects, pointing and talk before expecting fluent written answers.
Use a worksheet to find the next helpful step
Look beyond a total score to the relationships a learner can explain.
Read a multiplication chart with purpose
A chart is a map of relationships, not a page that needs to be memorized in one sitting.
Find a good first game in three small steps
Choose the math, choose the gesture and agree when to stop.
Match a game to the skill you want to practice
Different controls place different demands on attention, reading and movement.
Practise one times table without a sign-up
Use a chart, a few questions and a game around the same table.
A classroom station that starts with thinking
Give a browser-game station a clear question, a small task and a quiet finish.
Make room for enjoyment without hiding the math
A little choice and a shared conversation can make practice easier to begin.
