Q & A

Times Tales® is a mnemonic-based program that incorporates visual memory cues for quick and effortless recall of the upper times tables. This program is truly one-of-a-kind with our innovative "Times Tales® Method" to multiplication mastery.

Our program has been used by tutors, home educators, special education instructors and teachers for the past 20 years. This right-brain method to mastery is not only a fun and effective way to memorize the times tables, but will also give your students a learning tool that can be used for a lifetime.

Times Tales® covers the most difficult to memorize times tables (and corresponding division facts):

3x6, 3x7, 3x8, 3x9, 4x6, 4x7, 4x8, 4x9, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 7x7, 7x8, 7x9, 8x8, 8x9, 9x9

Why doesn't your program cover all the facts on the multiplication chart?

The founders believe the high success rate of students' ability to remember the stories is a result of focusing only on the core 18 upper facts that most children have to memorize. Many of the very first Times Tales® students still remember ALL the stories, almost 20 years later!

IF we included ALL of the facts for the multiplication chart 1-10 (ie: 2x3, 4x4, 1x9), the total number of stories that would need to be retained would increase to 54, instead of 18 which is currently in our program.

What if your child needs more facts than the upper times tables?

Don't worry, we've got you covered for the 1-12 times tables with companion workbooks (see below).

Times Before the Tales workbook focuses on the concept of multiplication and practice of the lower times tables. This is a great companion workbook for students to start before moving on to the upper facts in the Times Tales® program!

Times After the Tales uses tricks and mnemonic stories for mastery of the 11's and 12's times tables.

The Times Tales® 3 Part Series includes Times Tales® and both companion workbooks taking the student from learning the concept to memorization and application.
