My parents put a poster of times tables on the back of the toilet door. As a child there was not much else to do in there other than read them over and over again. Even now all three of us can recall our times tables.

I like that! :rotfl:

My mother has lent me a knitting magazine (so that I can solve the competition for her), and there's a picture of a knitted maths blanket in there, I shall try to find a link for it later.

Meanwhile, I found this page. there might be something you could knit to help with tables?

OK it was the May 2011 issue of Knit Today.

Can't find a picture online, but it is something which you could try to replicate with felt tips or paint.

"I thought it would be both educational and fun for us to knit a blanket representing the factors of the numbers 1-100. After lots of discussion we decided that we would each knit squares using a template and that the number of colours in the square would represent the factors of each number". So the square for number one would have one colour (as it only has one factor), number four would have three colours (as it has three factors), number six would have four colours, and so on.

Personally I would have hated this kind of thing, but it might have entertained my boys ... not the knitting, but using felt tips of different colours in squares IYSWIM.

I think i'll give the knitting a miss, but thanks for the idea; as you say I can replicate.
