My dd is 9 and in Y4 at school.
She has always struggled in maths and as such her confidence is nil in the subject. Her latest trauma is times tables. She cannot keep them in her head! We are trying to teach her by rote but no sooner has she learned one of her times tables, she forgets it!!
We had a really big push on them before Christmas and she could just about say her 2, 3, 5 and 10's - we were working on her 4's. Now, she can't even remember her 2's
I'm sure she should know many more by now, but she really doesn't seem able to recall them. She gets very frustrated and the whole experience is fraught
How can I help her?
How can she learn them and keep them in her head?
Can anyone recommend any good websites/games that will help her?
