P4 = year 3? Which X tables? Which ones can she already do?
ClaimedByMe Wed 05-Oct-11 16:53:46  Yeah i think so, she can do,
0, 1, 2, 5 & 10 and some of 3! She got a sent home sheet with
the all the tables upto 10 and a scribbled note in her diary
about learning them ?!  Iamnotminterested Wed 05-Oct-11 17:03:35
Is she really secure with 2, 5 and 10? can she do them randomly,
backwards, related division facts?  If she can, do 3's next; a
CD may help. Remember to practice 1x3=3, 2x3=6, 3x3=... and not
just counting in 3's. Write them out together if she is a visual
learner as well as practicing them orally. And do a few at a
time, say up to 15 to start with. Point out to her that if she
knows that 3x5=15 and 3x10=30 then she already knows some of
them already.  O
