Learning Styles:
Every person has an optimum way of learning new information.
Memorize
in Minutes, The Times Tables presents each multiplication fact using the three basic
modalities. Each lesson uses pictures for the visual learner. Stories are used to help the
auditory learner. The lesson ends with an activity for the kinesthetic learner who learns
by moving, doing, and touching.
Here's how it works...
- Each number 2 through 9 is represented by a picture. For example:
 |
| TREE |
|
 |
| SIX |
|
| 3 is represented by a tree |
6 is represented by a chick |
- The
answer to each multiplication fact is another picture based on the combination of the two
numbers.
|
|
|
TREE (3) |
|
X |
|
|
|
CHICK (6) |
|
= |
 |
|
ACHING (18) |
|
- This is the picture a student remembers for 3 x 6. When a student sees
three times six, he or she pictures chicks carrying a tree. The tree is
heavy so their backs are aching. (Aching rhymes with 18.)
- This is the story and activity that goes along with the picture:
Story:
Once there were two chicks
who lived on a farm. One day the wind blew so hard it knocked
over a tree. The tree fell right in the middle of the yard where
the chicks liked to play.
The chicks decided to move the tree out of the yard. They
put the tree on their backs and carried the heavy tree out into
a field. They were happy when they were finished, but their
backs were aching.
- When you use the pictures and stories in
Memorize in Minutes, the
Times Tables, it is as easy for a student to remember 2 x 2 as it is for them to
remember 7 x 8. Each fact just uses different pictures.
It sounds great, I'd like to
