Here's a review about the latest addition to the online store at Hometrain.
'Time Table Town' was written by Sally Lomax, after she developed the stories and characters to help her daughter learn times tables.
If you like Letter Land, then you'll love Times Table Town. Each character represents a number, and their adventures take you through each book:
Titles:
I read the books with my 7 year old Daughter, Laura. As we read through the books, she enjoyed the interaction and personalities of the characters, and could work out the maths. Each page of the story contains two characters - the times table character meets each number in turn, adding to the story and finding the answer to the multiplication.

Gorgeous Georgie’s 10 Times Table StoryI read the books with my 7 year old Daughter, Laura. As we read through the books, she enjoyed the interaction and personalities of the characters, and could work out the maths. Each page of the story contains two characters - the times table character meets each number in turn, adding to the story and finding the answer to the multiplication.
An example of how the stories work is: Marvellous Mummy in the 4 times table book, meets Blue Bunny on page 2. Their story works out 2 x 4 and the characters are setting the table for 8 guests coming to a dinner party. They need '8 knives, forks spoons, glasses, plates and finally 8 napkins,...then 2 lots of 4 chairs..' After discovering 2 x 4 - Marvellous Mummy then meets Grinning Granny (3 x 4) at 12 o'clock, and the storie continues in the same way. Each page finds the answer to the next multiplication.
The pages are nicley illustrated and include the answer, so, if your child learns better visually, they will remember their times tables easier.
I think children who find learning times tables to be boring will enjoy these books, and they could prove very useful at homework time.
We are delighted to have Times Table Town in our store - to find out more, go to:
The books are available with free P&P - a great idea for a maths boost during the summer hols.
Happy Learning!
