Memory Owl's Times Tables is a book and unique strategy that teaches children their times tables up to 12s through stories instead of numbers. The numbers have been turned into characters - 2 is a shoe, 7 is heaven, 48 is a naughty crate - and stories have been created around each times table itself. For instance, Memory Owl watches stick and his best stick friend walk down a path, trip over and land in a huge, muddy stinky puddle, becoming dirty sticks. Or 36. The stories are stunningly illustrated by Jake Tebbit, a seasoned illustrator, and appeal to children of all ages. The beauty of this method is that children as young as 2 can enjoy and remember the stories, and older children who find it difficult to learn numbers by rote can work out times tables by remembering stories rather than equations. Let's make remembering fun!
