City Creek Press, owned and operated by Judy Liautaud, started in 1992 and since that time has provided materials that make learning fun. Our products use the proven technique of visualization to help kids memorize the facts. Once students have a mental image of the number characters, they remember the story which leads to the answer. Then they never forget. This method was proven effective in a study done with 756 students, 18 schools, and 11 counties in Utah. Kids showed 24% greater scores on the post-test for multiplication vs kids who learned with drill and no pictures and stories. Results also showed 59% more improvement with the Times Tables the Fun Way program. Common core standards and many state standards require students to commit to memory the basic facts. Our products have been proven to aid in accomplishing this task.
When learning is fun kids are eager for lessons. Committing the multiplication facts to memory is the single most important tool a kid needs to succeed in all math classes including ratios, fractions, division, and algebra and beyond. If you don't know the times tables it is like having to look up the sounds of each letter before you can read a word. It is tedious and not fun. But when kids have the necessary tools, the rest comes smoothly and easily. Do your kids a favor and help them learn the times tables with Times Tables the Fun Way.
