I used to be a primary school teacher, then went on to teaching adults IT, but always knew that I'd return to children.
I love that we all learn differently, and Memory Owl aims to captivate those children who find learning numbers by rote tricky. Get rid of the numbers and use characters instead. Memory Owl stories will work with all ages, but are aimed primarily at KS1 and the beginning of KS2.

Memory Owl packs of flash cards contain 42 cards of the times tables from 2x up to 12x. They show the picture from the story on the front, and the characters and answer on the back.
When I originally put the concept and book together 5 years ago, I went slightly overboard and ordered 1,000 of each flash card, as it was more cost efficient. However, since then, I have had boxes of flash cards sitting unused and unloved under the stairs, so I would like to sell them off for less than cost price.
So therefore I am selling each box, containing c20 sets of flash cards, for £30 + postage. Please feel free to sell them in school to make some money for the school.
If you would like to buy one (or more!), please contact me at susan@memory-owl.com. (Note: The boxes contain just the flashcards, and not the case in the photo)

**This presentation contains ALL the Memory Owl stories for 2x tables up to 12x tables. **
The slide show is narrated, so can be played to a class whilst being listened to, or you can ask children to read the stories.
I have also included sheets about how to use Memory Owl, number sheets that can be shown to the children as they get used to the numbers (one is the sun, two is a shoe, etc), and other hopefully useful information.
I have a huge amount of flash cards sitting in my dining room, so please let me know if you would like some to help cement the learning! Only £5 per pack from susan@memory-owl.com.
I have also written an app containing all the stories - available on iOS and Android. Search for Memory Owl’s Times Tables.
Flash Cards for 2x table!
Use the free 2x table pack to learn the stories and then print out the colour flash cards to get the children to describe the stories.
