Here's a fun fact: every multiple of 9, like 9 x 9, the numbers add up to 9.
There's a lot of wonderful magic in Maths!

Something that we did as kids was to colour all the multiples of numbers in different colours and look at the patterns.
Print off a 12x12 number square and maybe your student can enjoy colouring in her 5x tables as a reward?

Yeah we have those too. They're like in a booklet, along with counting/number patterns.
That's good. As long as the kids enjoy what they're doing, they'll learn. Have you ever heard of the Don Spencer Times Tables songs? He sings the times tables - each one to a different tune- and I used to have a CD and an accompanying book. Sometimes aids like that can be helpful. If you're interested, I can try to find an audio clip or see if the CD/whatever is available. Might be from the ABC shop or somewhere.

I have had this girl- remember these are kids with learning disabilities and are in this special maths program- fail her 5 times tables week after week- 3 weeks in a row to be exact. Somehow finally what I have been saying to her has made sense, and she got them today.

I almost had tears in my eyes. :$
Wow! That's just fantastic Shell! What a huge achievement!

Typical! :rolleyes:
Could she have been charged with failing to assist? Or failing to report it? With you and the ambo driver as witnesses, she could've been spending a year getting her hands dirty doing community service :)
Exactly! + as German said, it's against the law in France not to give assistance - remember Diana's car accident?

Nah it's cool, we have plenty of resources. And do I mean plenty.. I just ordered 2 grands worth last week.
