Multiplication Tables: Why Our Students Struggle

Feb 26 | Multiplication Tables: Why Our Students Struggle

In today's classrooms everywhere, teachers are stressing memorization of multiplication math facts. Why is it then, that our children are still struggling ? There are a number of problems that hinder how our children memorize multiplication tables, here are just a few:

  • Multiplication is often introduced when students haven't fully mastered simple  addition and subtraction facts.

If your child is struggling with math at any level, we can help them master their math struggles.

Follow up:

  • Traditionally, students are taught multiplication, then move on to division, however, studies have shown that students who have learned multiplication and division together, have a better understanding of the mathematical concept.

Math is an integral part of every day life, students who struggle with math, may suffer from lower self esteem.
We can help your child build their math skills and boost their self esteem.

  • Rote memorization often fails to convert to long - term memory which means that facts that have been crammed into the student's short term memory are quickly  forgotten.

Study skills will be used throughout a student's education. Creative Tutors has the perfect tutor to help your student   learn to study more  effectively.

  • Often times, the math curricula in the early elementary grades, covers a vast array  of concepts in a short amount of time, leaving a teacher no other option but to move  on even when many students may not have mastered the previous skill

Creative Tutors works on the math concepts that your child is struggling to master and will spend as much time as  necessary on these concepts to make math clearer to your student. Contact us today to get started on your customized math tutoring program.
