recommendations for times table cds please

[tiggersreturn]

As per the title. I'd like one for ds aged 7 who is rather resistant to repeating them with me. Any other ideas welcome too. I've looked at some of the old threads on this and found the games but I don't think he's good enough to play them well so I intend to use them as a bribe to get him to learn them

look at the mathisfun site, there is something on their called the maths multiplier or some such thing. Basically it splits the table into segments anyway you want to split it, you set your own times and off you go typing in the answers. 15 minutes a day for a couple of weeks and he'll be just about there. Have tried posting a link below.

This can also be used for number bonds etc, anything else which requires repitition. Mathisfun is free, there are a lot of fantastic free maths resources on the internet.

Percy Parker for me too.

There are an awful lot of truly dreadful tables CDs out there which will leave you wanting to crash the car, should you play it on a journey. Percy Parker doesn't make me want to slit my wrists - in fact, I'll sing along with it

Yep, Percy Parker. Be warned that you'll find yourself singing them for the rest of the day, though...

Thanks

Be warned you'll be humming the tunes for weeks though

Percy Parker.

Buy yourself some noise cancelling head phones at the same time!

Another vote for Percy Parker.

Though not the 10x table one ("Just add a zero" - NOOOOO! You don't just add a zero, you move all the digits one place to the left, and then put in a zero as a place holder....)

And in one of the songs the children don't enunciate clearly, and it bugs me. But apart from that....

I agree Oakmaiden - the 10x table one drives me nuts! It goes against everything we told dd! In fact, we just joke about it before she sings it.

Percy Parker is on Spotify too if you use that.

Percy every time

But when you do give games, try Squeebles - my 7 yr old dd loves them and has learned almost all her tables already using them and Percy together.
