Advice for Parents: Get the Most Out of the Trip

"Times Table Trip" is a great way to build speed and confidence in recalling multiplication facts. Here are a few tips to help your child on their journey:

  • Talk About Strategy: When a question like "8 x 6" comes up, ask your child how they found the answer. Did they count up in 8s? Did they remember the fact instantly? Talking about their methods helps reinforce their learning.
  • Link Multiplication and Division: After they answer "4 x 5 = 20", you can ask, "So, how many 4s are in 20?" This helps them see the connection between multiplication and division, a key concept.
  • Celebrate Progress: The goal is to fill the fuel tank. Celebrate each correct answer and the moment they complete a level! This positive reinforcement makes learning feel rewarding.
  • Focus on Fluency: The aim of learning times tables is quick recall. This game is designed to improve that speed. Encourage your child to try and beat their "time" or see how quickly they can answer each question.
