Catchy melodies, drill and student involvement make multiplication tables to twelve very memorable. A complement of self quizzing music tracks allows students to quiz themselves.

   I bought this for my 8 yr. old granddaughter who was having trouble retaining the multiplication facts. She is an “A” student and usually learns easily but just as it seemed that she had the facts in her head she’d lose them. She understood how to multiply and could work out the answer but we wanted her to memorize the facts so she could do her math work quickly and efficiently. The music is catchy, if not current. My daughter and son in law had a laugh over the tunes but were soon impressed. As a result of listening to the cd in the car and twice daily before falling asleep she quickly learned to count by 2s – 12s. She then progressed so that she’s learned her times tables quickly and easily. Her teacher is so impressed that she has recommended it to the rest of the 3rd grade class. My granddaughter did not seem to like the book as well, but the purpose was for her to learn to multiply quickly and she has done so. I would recommend this cd to everyone. Just keep in mind that it needs to be played and sung along to – so play it in the car and sing along. It makes for a good family fun time as well.

   This tool takes the boredom out of plane memorization. In additin, you can turn it on and they start singing. You don’t have to spend your time doing this boring and frustrating task.

   I was really disappointed in the product. As a third grade teacher, I’m always looking for fun, innovative ways to get kids to remember multiplication facts. The songs in this were hokey and really outdated. It was no fun at all. I’m still lookin…..

   This music CD has helped my daughter learn her multiplication facts. The songs are catchy and she will listen to them several times before she loses interest.

   My daughter learns by hearing, so this worked like a charm for her. At first, I was skeptical. The songs always review the tables in numerical order, and I thought she would rely on skip-counting to figure out the next answer. After we listen, I review them with her in random order, and she can recall almost all of them instantly. It worked for us.
