Times Tables Teaching Method

Simplified By Local Teacher

A local teacher and business owner has aimed to simplify teaching maths to children with a brand new, innovative approach to times tables.

Nicole Batzloff, AKA Mrs B, has utilised her hands-on teaching experience by designing and trademarking a Sensory Hundreds Chart, an innovation in maths resources she believes will advance children years.

Offering kids the opportunity to “know your times tables in 10 days”, the new times tables method leverages off the multisensory resource to give children an understanding of their times tables, like no other method has ever done in the past.  

“We all know how important times tables are for success in mathematics and for years, we have taught and learned them by rote,” Mrs Batzloff said.

The method still includes a host of traditional and brand-new rote activities but is underpinned with the multi-sensory hundreds chart, providing children a real framework for understanding times tables in a way no other method has ever done in the past.  

Mrs Batzloff employed an often-encouraged hands-on approach to mathematics learning experiences, giving children the opportunity to explore their times tables in a hands-on way.  

She said that not only does it help children fully grasp times tables but also enhances their overall mathematical fluency by combining sensory learning with whole-brain engagement.

The innovation was recently showcased on Mrs Batzloff’s TikTok channel, garnering an astounding 100,000 views within 48 hours.
