I liked the illustrations and the jokes from Spot. This works for kids learning English because although it is about math, there is a lot of attention to vocabulary with repetition and explanation of terms used. This is a great way to get going on the multiplication tables. –Ian Gordon (December 2022 Amazon Review)
What they say
As a former basic math instructor at Capilano University, I appreciate Times Tables Make Sense. My students almost always felt stupid around math so they had such a tough time overcoming those barriers to learning. This cartoon math book is light and airy and full of fun so it would make them laugh at the jokes and relax to learn important math concepts. Although the characters are children, it appeals to any age of learner and uses examples from daily life to illustrate math concepts such as eggs in a carton or shapes in a pizza. Thanks Kate for creating a teaching tool that enhances learning of the times tables as a natural and manageable activity while being fun for learners. –Judy Rose (June 2023)
Thank you so much for the awesome book! My son dove right into it, which is great since he’s been struggling with the tables. –Allison McNeill (May 2023)
As an ex-teacher of adults, I wish my students had learned this way when they were children – before they learned to hate math. Kids will learn to understand the math and that it is sensible – not a great mystery! –Evelyn (October 2022, Amazon review)
This is so helpful, so practical. As the title says, times tables make sense. –Donna (December 2022, Amazon Review)
