Welcome!<\/span> <\/p>\n

And thanks for signing up for the newsletter. This is the very first issue!<\/p>\n

I received a very touching email recently – about the daughter of a parent who had visited this site.<\/p>\n

She was in tears<\/strong> on a Monday, discouraged because her classmates were all ahead of her in learning her times tables.<\/p>\n

By Friday, she had learned them so fast she was begging her parents for times tables quizzes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Of course, I reviewed my times tables tips<\/a> pages, and realized that I’d never quite gotten round to typing up tips for all the tables. The most glaring omission is now fixed. So, announcing….<\/p>\n

12 times table tips!<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n
The page shows the simple patterns in the ones and tens columns of the 12 times tables. Also included – an exercise to help kids see how the 12 times table is related<\/strong> to the 6, 4 and 3 times tables. <\/p>\n

So, that’s it for the first DMMGFK (Dr Mike’s Math Games for Kids) newsletter. Coming up in the next month or two…<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Fish+1<\/strong> and Fish++<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • An online ‘spirograph’<\/strong>, and an explanation of the math behind a spirographs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    See you next time!<\/p>\n

    Yours,
