See and Learn Multiplication by Heart is simply THE best method to
memorize multiplication tables. This book offers children and adults a truly
unique and no-fail visual method to learn and remember them. And best of all,
it's stress-free! First, it shows how you really need to memorize only 28 of the
169 multiplication facts in the 0 to 12 times tables. These 28 multiplication facts
are then introduced gradually on 7 simple, structured images that are easily absorbed
in memory. By recalling the images, one SEES at the same time the answer to each and
every multiplication. It may sound too easy to be true, but it really is that simple!
Initially developed to help the author's 8-year-old son, See and Learn Multiplication By Heart
has been tested by other parents with their children; results were remarkable!
"Your concept for learning the multiplication tables is brilliant! Memorizing is fast and fun."
Michèle, parent (Gatineau)
"...I still can't believe how easy it was for (my son)
to learn his times tables!" Penny, parent (Ottawa)
Adults who have used the method
for their own benefit describe it as the only tool that ever worked for them.
"Then Lucie
showed me this neat learning system, and it was my lucky day. All these years I thought I was stupid,
but See and Learn Multiplication By Heart has made me realize that I'm not." Linda (Ottawa)
And Nancy Vézina, professor of mathematics education at the Faculty of Education of the
University of Ottawa, has this to say about the book: "Struggling with times tables often hinders
progress in math. Mrs. Cossette's method is simple, consistent and innovative. A book for parents
and teachers who want to help kids learn their times tables and for adults who want to improve their
own math skills."
A university graduate in psychology, Lucie Cossette is a statistical
analyst at Statistics Canada. Mother of two boys, she is as passionate about children as she is
about education. In 1995, when her youngest son has a great deal of difficulty memorizing multiplication
tables, she develops an innovative method geared to his visual learning style to help him succeed. The
method's success, as much with her son as with many other children and adults, prompts her to take a
leave of absence from work to publish See and Learn Multiplication By Heart. Her sincerest wish is that
no child or adult will ever struggle again to master this crucial math skill.
