Children naturally love animals—so what better way to teach times tables than through creatures who are the numbers themselves?
The FUNS Method introduces unforgettable characters like:
- 🕷 Eighton the Spider, who spins octagonal webs and loves groups of 8
- 🦥 Sevenster the Sloth, whose seven-shaped claws match his peaceful pace
- 🦌 Sixby the Deer, with six proud antlers and a love for order
Each number in the times tables is paired with a forest friend and a story, helping children form visual, emotional, and rhythmic connections that make multiplication stick.
Instead of drilling facts, children:
- See numbers come alive in story scenes
- Experience meaningful repetition through forest adventures
- Learn through fun, not pressure
By anchoring each times table to a character and place, the FUNS Method helps young learners build fluency with joy—not just memory.
