Bill Handley is well known for making maths fun! The first edition of Teach Your Children Tables challenged over 20,000 readers - and Bill has been inundated with letters of thanks since from parents whose children have quickly become proficient in maths and problem solving.
This not only pleases their teachers but does wonders for a child's self-esteem.
In this new, fully revised edition, rewritten for clearer understanding, Bill expands the sections on explaining multiplication to young children, on problem solving, and the correlation between the multiplication method and subtraction.
