Multiplication is the foundation of many higher-level math topics. Your child’s ability to master multiplication facts can dramatically improve his or her current and future academic success. This software allows you to set up a series of tests that can be varied by making the problems sequential or random and by setting time limits for completion. The scores are stored to help identify weak areas. The test history shows test completion status, number of problems solved, time elapsed, and number of correct answers. The more tests your child takes, the more you know what to include in the next test. For instance, if a child consistently misses multiplication of 8s, then the tests can be set to concentrate on 8s and to adjust the completion time. Students will love the challenge of beating their own time and adding new problems to their tests. The following elements are built into the software to ensure that users can meet specific math goals : Customized tests, Variable time settings, Random or sequential order of math facts, Independent practice, Games, such as Multiplication Tic-Tac-Toe, to reinforce memorization, Availability of detailed progress reports. Children build confidence as speed and accuracy improve.

   I bought this for my 7-year old in hopes that the product would help her practice the multiplication facts. After trying the software, I would say that the user-configurable timed testing is the only function that would be valuable to us.
   
   The games were boring in content and did not reinforce the material. Screen design and colors deserve a discussion of their own. I hope no-one with color blindness tries to play the Trick Trick game.
   
   Bottom line – I was disappointed.

   I am very happy I bought this software for my son, it’s saved us all so much time. We used to spend hours on creating times tests on worksheets and checking results. This was a very tedious work and required at least one parent to be involved. With this software all you have to do is to check your child’s scores at least once week. It keeps the history of the scores and shows which facts you child have troubles remembering. You can set the time on the test you have created, by the way, you can include any combination of multiplication facts in your test. The best feature that I liked was the option to create a test based on those facts which you child had scored low. It is excellent in every way!

   “MY DAUGHTER HATES MATHS AND WAS REALLY STRUGGLING WITH HER TABLES. THIS IS BRILLIANT, SHE WILL ACTUALLY GO AND DO THE TESTS ON THE COMPUTER AND IS DOING SO WELL AT SCHOOL THIS YEAR. THIS IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE TIMED TESTS BECAUSE I CAN SET IT TO THE SAME TIME THEY GET AT SCHOOL AND IT GIVES THEM RANDOM PROBLEMS. IF YOU CHILD IS STRUGGLING TOO, I RECOMMEND THIS.”

   We bought this for our daughter who struggles with multiplication facts. This is an easy to use tool to assist with learning. The tests are valuable tools for us because we can see which facts are the biggest problem for our daughter. The games are great way to spend time with your child while also learning. Although, they do have the option to play against the computer as well.

   Our experience with this software has been extremely unsatisfactory. It is boring and I have a very difficult time forcing my son to “play” with it. There has to be a better way. I’ve never given a negative review. This is a first.
