THE REVOLUTIONARY TEACHING METHOD
BACKED BY SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
I was at my wits end last year, wondering how my kids were ever going to learn their tables.
Then we found Fables World. It was a kind of miracle to see it work so effortlessly.
I can’t recommend the system highly enough! Decca Aitkenhead, The Sunday Times
Fables World teaches foundational maths skills to children who struggle with traditional teaching methods such as rote learning and mental arithmetic in just 5 minutes a day.
Based on over 10 years of scientific research and testing, Fables World has created a proven learning formula that teaches foundational maths skills to primary and secondary aged school children in 19 days with just 5 minutes work a day. To date over 10,000 parents have used Fables World to help their children learn maths, and over 100 schools have adopted Fables World when traditional maths teaching methods have failed.
With up to 20% of children diagnosed dyslexic or dyscalculic (which rises to 50% of adults in prisons), Fables World is turning the tables on traditional teaching methods and is particularly successful with dyslexic or dyscalculic students who learn visually and struggle with traditional teaching methods.
Rebecca Ginger, Founder of Fables World says. “Before I created Fables World, I was told by my daughter’s school that she would struggle to pass a single GCSE, and that A-levels were out of her reach. 10 years later she received a 9 (A*) for both maths and further maths at GCSE and is currently doing A-Level maths and getting As for all her mock exams. The results have been astonishing, not just for my children, but for thousands of children who have been let down by maths teaching in the UK.”
How Fables World works
Fables World techniques are based on years of research into the psychology of memory and understanding that human brains prefer to remember stories and use visual cues to remember information. Research has shown that when people hear information, they retain only 10% of that information three days later. However, if the same information is paired with a relevant image that people can see, people retain 65% of that information three days later – this is at the foundation of the Fables World technique.
Additionally research has shown that children in early education who struggle with maths can begin to develop anxious thoughts as early as 4. Fables World uses imagery & games to eliminate learning anxiety, helping children become confident with maths, which has a positive knock on effect in all other subjects, thus setting them up for a brighter more confident future.
Compared with other Maths teaching websites currently used by schools in the UK the Fables World technique reduces learning time by 60%. One to one training sessions can teach children more in one hour then they will learn in the classroom in one year.
- Teaching grounded in a world-renowned scientific memory system.
- Using humorous cartoons to eliminate maths anxiety.
- Quests guarantee comprehensive learning, ensuring that children tackle all aspects of maths, even the challenging parts made easy by our technique.
- We offer rewards and prizes to motivate children to complete their Quests, sparing parents and teachers from reminders.
- For those without a subscription or needing extra support, we provide free online lessons, guiding parents and children on how our system works.
Fables World Teaching Areas
Fables World uses a scientifically proven visual system to assist in the learning of foundational maths skills: Times Tables, Number Bonds, Telling the Time and Fractions. Each learning area is broken down into two fun interactive “Quests.” Each Quest takes 5 minutes a day to complete over a period of 10 – 19 days.
- Table Fables: Times Tables Memorisation – Numbers come alive as humorous characters in an animated world. When these characters interact, stories play out making it effortless – and fun! – for pupils to memorise all Multiplication and Division facts.
- Farting Fractions: Fraction Teaching – Our Farting Fraction technique distils complex fraction rules into four funny faces that enable easy recall, long-term retention, and the application of Fraction rules to any problem.
- Simply Maths: Number Bonds – Our technique ingrains Number Bond patterns in such a way that students can effortlessly solve more complex sums and mental arithmetic.
- Clever Clocks: Telling the Time – Using cheeky but effective toilet humour, children will enjoy learning the fundamentals of Time-telling in Analogue, Digital and 24-Hour.
Why getting maths right at a young age is so important.
According to research by UCL half of schoolchildren who do not pass their maths GCSEs were already judged to be behind on their maths education at the age of five.
Further research shows that students who weren’t able to learn basic maths had a lower amount of a crucial chemical (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) needed for brain plasticity in a key brain region involved in many important cognitive functions, including reasoning, problem solving, maths, memory and learning.
Girls who perform in the top 25% of maths tests at age 10 earn almost a quarter more than those scoring in the bottom 25% by the time these people reached the middle of their careers – even after taking future qualifications into account.
Achieving 2 or more A levels in STEM subjects adds 7.8% to a man’s earnings, 33.1% to a woman’s earnings. Research Data.

Rebecca Ginger the dyslexic businesswoman who transformed her biggest weakness – her lack of maths skills (she went to school on the estate that inspired the film Trainspotting and where her dyslexia and dyscalculia went undiagnosed), into her biggest strength, teaching children to master maths and give them the best start in life. The result is her award winning educational business Fables World that helps children master maths and sets them on the path to a successful and financially rewarding future as featured in The Times and BBC Radio 4.
With research showing that maths ability a key indicator of a child’s future prospects and children achieving A Level STEM subjects adding 33% in future earnings Rebecca Ginger is passionate about transforming maths teaching to ensure the best possible future for every child.
Fables World teaches maths skills in just 3 weeks using cartoons and jokes is based on the understanding that the human brain prefers to use visual cues to remember information and was inspired by her years working as a top TV director at MTV where she created the hit TV show Dirty Sanchez.
