Pickle Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Help. My year 3, 8 year old son isn't a fan of maths and I'm struggling to get the times tables to stick (and my daughter, but not to the same extent, she's year 2).We've done a lot of dreaded Percy Parker - he can sing the songs beautifully but when asked tables out of order goes completely blank. Flash cards, repetition, and some pretty rubbish games online have been tried, but unless it's something he enjoys he is reluctant to make an effort.I'm hoping someone has stumbled across a game/app that makes times tables fun?! Star Wars themed would be ideal, but I won't hold my breath :)Doesn't have to be free, happy to pay a subscription or for an app if it helps relieve times table stress!Thanks.

hazelnunhead Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 We use Squeebles every now and then.http://keystagefun.co.uk/There is a very basic game you earn "points" with as you do the times tables and you can play afterwards.Its quite well laid out, and you can do little spurts of itWould be interested to hear about other resources as well.

Jessie Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Doodlemaths app on iPad is really good - it's not cheap but makes maths fun for the kids. It was designed by maths teachers and is very curriculum-based.

nunheadmum Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 My daughter introduced me to this one last week - apparently they use it at school.http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/online/moonmaths.swf Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54321-any-cool-times-tables-appsgames-out-there/#findComment-822095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks all. We tried Squeebles this evening and they both seemed to enjoy it. Will have a look at the other suggestions tomorrow, much appreciated.
