My school has a reward system for children to achieve certificates for learning times table facts. For example to gain a certificate for the ‘Bronze Award’ the children have to recall the 2,3, 5’s and 10 x table facts. The special needs children find the challenge daunting, due to the amount of facts they have to learn. This is mainly due to certain children with special needs having short-term memory, which causes difficulty in retaining these facts. This has created a disadvantage for them because of their learning difficulty.
I feel it would be better if they differentiated and had individual times table certificates e.g. 2x tables 3x etc. The children then could learn these facts and not be so overwhelmed with the amount they have to learn. I would appreciate any other ideas on this subject, as I feel the reward system needs to be made more achievable for SEN children.
