Is it necessary to learn these once you have mastered 1-12? Or is it better to focus on other areas of weakness in Maths.
Curious because dd is fast and accurate with times tables up to 12 but she lacks confidence in fractions, decimals and percentages, word problems and I'm sure a few other areas I've yet to uncover, I would have thought it's better to help her with these at home but she says if she doesn't learn the 13, 14 and 15 times she'll lose her break. I know I need to speak to her teacher about this, maybe I've got it all wrong though - hence would really appreciate views. I thought 1-10 was enough now, never mind 1-15, I would have thought is was better to focus on areas of weakness rather than memorising too many number facts. Dd is in Year 6.
