Aligerous is here to save you (especially those who have a bad memory!) from the age-old belief that memorization is the only way to learn times-tables. It’s not!
In their newly launched ‘Tables Training that Packs a Punch’ e-book course, Aligerous’ mission is to teach children the 6 POWER TOOLS that transform how they learn their tables.
Maths teacher and founder of Aligerous, Wendy Laatz, says, “In my 25+ years of teaching, I’ve witnessed literally hundreds of students unable to memorize their tables. I myself was never able to remember them, and I absolutely hated learning them as a child. I always dreamed of being able to recite them quickly, but because I have a bad memory, I gave up hope.”
It was this experience that fuelled her desperate need to find additional strategies to help her students fly with their tables. The 6 POWER TOOLS are game changers!
An incredible advantage of using the power tools is that they promote a natural development of number manipulation, which is how mature mathematicians operate. Another win is that in most cases the tools can be applied to all numbers, not just numbers up to 12×12.
Although they’re truly simple concepts to remember, just like any skill, the power tools need to be practiced in order to be mastered. The Tables Training that Packs a Punch e-book provides an abundance of practice exercises for this purpose.
It offers value on many other levels too:
- It provides a carefully structured and well-designed plan, showing the exact order in which lessons should be covered, using the correct scaffold of skills, which helps to build confidence along the way.
- An explainer video is included for each skill, which can be revisited as many times as necessary.
- Extension activities ensure that primary school children of all levels are catered for.
- In addition to the basic 2x – 12x tables, more advanced skills like decimals, integers, squares, cubes and roots are included which provides a solid foundation for high school.
Lockdowns created havoc in the education sector, especially with many children’s foundational concepts. This course will empower children to tackle their tables with confidence.
