Turn Tables card games are different to many other multiplication resources:
They use the eyes, the visual channel, to see the multiplication diagram, giving students a concrete idea to hold on to;
They use the voice to say the multiplication fact, so using the auditory channel to hear the students own representation of the multiplication fact; and
They use the kinaesthetic channel to touch and turn the cards, giving students tactile memories of the process.
"Turn Tables provides chances for plenty of practice and over-learning, and having used it with both primary- and secondary-aged students I can recommend it as a suitable little resource for any age. It successfully meets its objective of enabling proficiency in mental recall and boosting confidence and understanding of multiplication facts through a multi-sensory approach.”
