Knowing a table by chanting it from the start is not the same as knowing a single fact on demand. Rolling the number dice and the times dice produces a random pairing, so children cannot lean on the chanted sequence; they have to recall the product directly. Practising these “dodging” tables, where facts come out of order, is what turns slow counting-up into instant recall.
Because the six card sets are separate, a teacher can hand a beginner the table of 3 while a confident classmate works with mixed 7s and 8s, and raise the level as recall improves. Laying one card set out in order is also a good moment to look for patterns — for example, how the digits of each answer in the table of 9 add up to 9. The rubber tokens can be used to keep score, which keeps a small group engaged in a maths corner or as part of the lab equipment a school keeps for activity periods.
Taming The Tables is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana. Primary schools, maths-lab coordinators, tutoring centres and dealers in India and international markets can order it on its own or with other number-sense games from the same range.

Can Taming The Tables be used with children at different levels?
Yes. Taming The Tables can be played at different levels depending on the challenge a child needs, so a teacher can start with a single table and later mix card sets for children who are ready for faster, out-of-order recall.
How should the Taming The Tables cards be stored?
Taming The Tables is easiest to use when each of the six card sets is kept bundled separately, with the dice and tokens in the same box, so a group can take out one table quickly. Keeping the cards dry and flat helps them last through repeated games.
