Talking Times Tables

Sleep Learning Multi-Function CD

How to use this CD

The concept behind this CD is very simple. It has been known for years that our brains can continue to take in and learn new information even while we are asleep. So why not use this to help those children (or adults) who have great difficulty in learning their 'times tables'.

The Audio files on the CD version and mp3 files are numbered the same as the tables. i.e. the seven times table is track 7; the nine times table is track 9 etc. The tables cover the numbers from 1 to 20! You can use the files in two different ways:

  1. Conscious learning: Play the files using your CD player's auto-repeat. The table will be read to you and then read again in a different order. Try to beat the second version by giving the answer before the end of the pause.
  2. Sleep learning: Select one or two tracks to learn. Set your CD player to repeat these tracks continuously. Set the volume fairly low but loud enough so that you can make it out. Play the CD while the subject sleeps. Repeat the process the next night. You'll be surprised how quickly they learn the tables.

For greatest effect use the sleep method with short sessions of conscious learning. Re-enforce the information by playing multiplication games. There are lots of these available on Internet - try multiplication.com for examples.

There's also a great arcade style game available at Bigbrainz which is available for free download which we can't recommend more highly.

Also included on the CD version are higher quality mp3 files and the following freeware programs:

WinAmp (Freeware) An excellent mp3 player for the PC. It will play the mp3 version of the audio tracks. (And a lot of other media besides). This version is version 5.35.
