This book was created because my son, Connor, was having trouble with math. He hadn’t grasped his addition and subtraction yet, and multiplication was being introduced. Needless to say, homework wasn’t an enjoyable time at our house. Because I love my son, and I didn’t want his confidence in his school abilities to slide any further, I put this system together at our kitchen table.

It worked for Connor because he was willing to try something new. Within a few weeks, a child who disliked math and who didn’t do well in the subject had made remarkable strides towards mastering the times tables. As time went on and he forgot one of the math facts, he was able to go back and use the system to find the answer. He felt empowered because he had increased his independence as a learner. He knew how to eliminate the guesswork.

The time that it takes for the children in your care to learn the times tables will vary, but if it helps to ease the frustration in your home or classroom, it’s worth it.

Using cartoons, stories and songs, this book provides a unique approach that combines both common sense and modern educational research. Students can use some or all of this book to learn or consolidate what they already know.

Many people see themselves as math-challenged. With KTS, it doesn’t matter. This system eliminates the guesswork and helps both the quick and slower learner get the math facts into their long-term memory. Your positive support will be enough to help them learn the times tables quicker and remember them.
