And kids love to play games.

1. Instead of pen and paper, buy 2 dice (there are those math dice that goes up to digit 9). Throw and multiply, add or subtract.

2. Use the number cards in a Uno game set. Play a game of snap - show one card each and shout out the answer (whether your game is multiplication, differences or addition). Winner takes the card. (Parents give chance a bit 😉 )
(Set of Uno number cards is very versatile, so is poker cards for number games. Be creative)

3. Do up a snake and ladder multiplication game. Answer correctly (to the question in the box your token is on) then can proceed, else miss a turn. Very good for drilling the answers to bigger multiplication equations...have more snakes so the kid gets eaten and forced to revisit the sums to proceed upwards again 😉

Rotate the games and ten minutes daily/a game a day, you will see the difference. End the game and don't replay upon request on the same day so the kid will look forward to the next game day.

Have fun!

Em:
think of multiplication as a shortcut way to describing additions of the same number again and again and again and.......

Icekopi:
I was flipping through some books at Popular and if I'm not wrong multiplication only taught in P2. Was I mistaken?? My son going to P1 next year. Is there a difference between the textbooks and what they actually learn in school?

yep , multiplication starts in P2, table 2 to 6 & 10 for my child's sch

i think P1 teaches on groupings, grp of 2 , 3, 4, 6 ,8 etc first step to multiplications.

in a fun way without memorising.


esp. 6x, 7x, 8x
There is no way to avoid memorising as that's the best way to have quick recall. But during the learning process, there can be ways to help the facts stick. I can't remember how my husband helped my daughter when she was having a lot of problems learning the multiplication tables. I'll ask him (and her) and post again later.

You can try this website :

Click on 一年级, 一上.

Actually the Chinese teacher in primary 1 spends a lot of time teaching Hanyu Pinyin in the first half of the year, your child should be able to learn in class. All you have to do is practice with them using the website. Then get a P1 Chinese assessment book to practice writing hanyu pinyin will do.

Note that Chinese character recognition is much more important than hanyu pinyin. Even if your child is very good in hanyu pinyin, he will still do badly in Chinese if he does not know how to read many Chinese words. You should focus on teaching him to read as many Chinese story books as possible. Learning hanyu pinyin alone is quite useless, especially after the first half of P1.

For multiplication, just use real objects to teach. In P1, children only need to know that multiplication is repeated addition.

For maths...i m also struggling with my P1 DS...and i'm not thinkg even abt multiplication yet...ds is still struggling with his more than and less than concepts....and i've seen some past year P1 exam questions from various schs...the schs tend to make this tricky...math teacher in sch ever told me that kids at this age are \"visual\"...so we can use things found at home to share the add/subtract/multiply/divide concepts visually...

for hanyu pinyin...ds attended Berries since he was K1...and the sch did a great job in preparing him for hanyu pinyin...i stongly advise u to try Berries out. It is not quite easy for us (layman) to teach HYPY to our kids...and i find that the level is more chim than what we used to learn when i was in pri sch (abt 30 yrs back?)
