Prompted by the @rastokke Chalk and Talk episode with Dr Pamela Snow Using evidence in education with Pamela Snow (Ep 27) | Chalk & Talk (podbean.com), we have blogged on one of the many parallels between reading and number fact instruction numbersensemaths.com/blog-an…
First of all thank you so much @LTeacher123 for your kind words. We are DELIGHTED it has worked so well for you. Re the conversation below, yes there is a reason for the difference which this diagram attempts to illustrate.
I definitely think booklets would be a lot easier to manage but I'm trusting the research behind it. There must be a reason why it's separate worksheets.
We haven't entirely ruled out adding some booklets to our KS1 programme, but they would be shorter, and would probably be for once a week practice, supporting what has been taught in the sessions that week.
I hope that helps understand the difference. It's always v helpful hearing these kind of discussions from people using the programmes and helps craft future developments so thank you.
Thank you @LTeacher123 for sharing! Display is an essential part of our approach. Either a fact is in our head, or on the wall. Amazingly after just 3 times tables (2, square & 5) this class will know over half the 36 facts. It shows the chn just how well they are doing.
Lots of excitement today when we added our square number facts to the facts learned. The children were all trying to guess which x table we were going to learn next.

If you are after a really effective whole class approach to teach times tables to fluency for all children, sign up for our free introductory session this Thursday at 4pm. Programme is taught from January of Year 3. numbersensemaths.com/trainin…
A HUGE thank you to Miss Chandler and 6C for welcoming over 40 teachers from @MathsHub_LT into your classroom yesterday for the first TRG of the year. We watched a session on the 7 x table @NumSenseMaths and discussed fluency and teaching for mastery. @GLFSchools@Whyteleafe_sch
If you are working on improving children's fluency in times tables this year, this blog outlines some principles to build into your approach to teaching times tables to fluency numbersensemaths.com/blog-an…
Blog on reflections on MTC. The final section is particularly relevant as the current Year 4s transition into Year 5: use the MTC as a way point not an end point numbersensemaths.com/blog-an…
Join us at 4pm tomorrow for an introduction to our new fully resourced times tables curriculum. Developed in schools over the last 5 years. Develops fluency in recall and conceptual understanding. numbersensemaths.com/trainin…numbersensemaths.com/ttf
Thank you SO much to @LTeacher123 for sharing these resources. Perfect for targeted support, or if you want to make a display like this to a) provide somewhere the children can read off not-yet-known facts, and b) see their progress towards fluency in the 36 facts
Had the second training session with @NumSenseMaths and now really excited to get going in September. I've made the x tables fact display cards and "Ask me about..." stickers. Feel free to download:
