Speed Maths - Multiplication facts mastery workshop

Speed Maths - Times table - Multiplication facts mastery workshop

Multiplication is one of the most challenging aspects of basic mathematics. Yet, the skill is vital in real life as memorizing the facts and not the times tables makes problem-solving faster. 

Multiplication facts are just facts which are stored in the memory and if they are not used regularly then they are less conspicuous.

Without full mastery of the multiplication facts, kids struggle as they start to tackle division, fractions, and problems with larger numbers. They use so much of their working memory on simple calculations that they have little brain space left for understanding new concepts. This make them lose interest, focus and thereby their confidence.  

I am a certified speed maths trainer and have experienced a lot of adults and kids getting stuck with the higher order facts like 7×8,  7×6 , .... when they try to solve problems.  

At Artskool, we use visualisation and picture memory techniques to master the multiplication facts. Regular practice for a few months, and refreshing the facts will help them retain the facts for their lifetime.
