A few years ago, I discovered this book (see info below) and it helped a couple of my kids really grasp the times tables.
We even added our own 12th Elf Times Tables and made flash cards out of them. You can find out all about the book and our printable here: Learning Math the Fun Way

Summer Fun and Survey at Equipping Catholic Families
July 6, 2017 by Leave a Comment

#HPparty : Our 11year-old’s Hogwarts Orientation Party plus FREE Printable
June 16, 2017 by 4 Comments
Here at Equipping Catholic Families, we usually post about Catholic crafts, activities and traditions to help celebrate the Catholic Faith at home. As a family, we also happen to be avid Harry Potter fans….and epic backyard birthday party planners. This post shows how we combined the two (and made a 36-page FREE printable in the process). I know that some of my subscribers may not be big Harry Potter fans and I’m just hoping that you’ll consider reading this really great article by Kendra at Catholic All Year before you post an angry or concerned comment about the dangers of Harry Potter.
