My children are learning about their times tables at the moment, so I have been trying to come up with some more creative ways to teach them.

Today I decided to get out the tuff tray and whiteboard pens and draw up a times table grid. For some reason, the tuff tray seems to add an extra bit of fun to any activity. I could have just drawn this out on a piece of paper, but my daughter loved getting out the whiteboard pens and she really enjoyed wiping it all off when she's finished.

I then handed the pens over to my daughter who had a great time working it all out. It was really interesting how she quickly learned how to use the bits of the grid she had already completed to help her as the times tables got harder.
