Using TIMES FACTS to teach Music……..

If you are a teacher or at-home with non-musical background, don’t worry. Just let the students enjoy the tables as they learn one at a time. TIMES FACTS can be used at regular math time and individually at the math table in the classroom. TIMES FACTS also makes a fun test tool.
Students can work in groups and you, the teacher, can use their working in competition to see who can sing or recite your assigned table without making a mistake. When students work this way, they also fortify their ability to remember.

2. If you are a teacher with some music training,
do the basic note learning suggestions at music time. This will also solidify the assignment you are giving at math time in such a fun way the students
will look forward to reciting the times tables.

3. If you are the music teacher, you will be of great
Service to your 3rd and 4th grade teachers as you
help them solidify their math lessons. The students
will not only learn the multiplication tables but
will also learn to listen and discern rhythms and
the note values. TIMES FACTS can further be used
for rhythm band instruments; put a little movement
to your choice of table and the culminating assembly may never be the same!

ABOUT THE CREATORS OF TIMES FACTS

“As educators we were frustrated at the numbers of students from 3rd grade who go into life believing they are “math dumb”----so we made TIMES FACTS---times facts so captivating the students want to listen to the 12 beautiful timeless melodies and rhythms of our earth.
“We had been striving towards finding a fun yet effective method of learning math with focus on alternative learners, says Barbara G. Sherrill. “Now we have found it.” Barbara is the co-creator of TIMES FACTS, a former music school instructor with over 25 years experience, and holder of a teaching credential from the University of Southern California. Barbara is also the composer of many songs, cantatas, piano compositions, organ and choral works/arrangements, and a Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra.

Rather than dryly memorizing written tables altogether----something many students have problems with----TIMES FACTS ALLOWS YOUNG STUDENTS TO DIFFERENTIATE as they do what works best for them-----LEARN AT THEIR OWN PACE AND LEARN VITAL INFORMATION WITHOUT STRESS. Each number is also different and therefore treated differently. In TIMES FACTS each number is given its own characteristic rhythm and melody. This is done using by CLASSIC BEATS including POP, LATIN, CARIBBEAN, BOOGIE, etc. USING TIMES FACTS, TEACHERS CAN FULLY ENGAGE THEIR STUDENTS and hold their attention and interest. Students can also listen to TIMES FACTS at HOME, while TRAVELING, and even while PLAYING, to subtly REINFORCE THE MATHEMATICAL/MUSICAL CONCEPTS. 12 -15 DIFFERENT RHYTHMS AND SONGS FOR TABLES 1-12. Students want to listen and learn and will want to play them at random. However, we suggest listening to one at the time so that the study is thorough.

THE PURPOSE OF TIMES FACTS

is to help teach the times tables to children and possibly even adults who need alternative methods of learning. This will include students who are sometimes left out of the mainstream classrooms as well as the students who are homeschooled. Some students are physically challenged but since the mode of CD is used, any one of the tables can be studied and/or reviewed at any convenient time-----shopping, vacationing, partying, alone at the classroom math table, etc.

Furthermore, TIMES FACTS can help these students to go on more easily to other forms of math, such as division, fractions, percentage, algebra, and even geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. This is because all of these subjects depend heavily on the knowledge of the times tables. With a reduced parental supervision and pencil and paper as check points, TIMES FACTS is an indispensable math tool.

Each year, many students fail math. In our search for answers to this problem, many students miss out on the concept of numbers. Sometimes they are not allowed to count tangible objects so that a concept of “how much” is not grasped. If each student is allowed to grasp this knowledge for himself at each step of addition and subtraction, memorizing the times tables gives him or her the confidence to succeed at the next step of multiplication, division, fractions and of course, the checkbook. Here is a thought: DOESN’T IT FEEL GOOD TO BE ABLE TO PULL KNOWLEDGE OUT OF YOUR OWN HEAD WITHOUT HAVING TO RELY ON MACHINES AND OTHERS?

TEACHERS use them for CLASSROOM LEARNING AND ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS.

SCHOOLS LIKE TIMES FACTS because the CD or cassette can EASILY BE USED
by the school or home’s technology.

PARENTS LIKE THEM BECAUSE IT HELPS THEIR CHILD HAVE CONFIDENCE.

MUSIC TEACHERS USE THEM FOR TEACHING NOTE VALUES, RHYTHM BAND, AND AS AIDS TO THE TEACHERS WHEN THE STUDENTS ARE LEARNING THE
TIMES TABLES.
