Product Description

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for testing, not for studying, February 28, 2010

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.

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.

I bought this for my 9 year old because she is struggling in math, what I do is have her study her multiplication on paper and write them down. And I test her once a day to she how far she is coming along. This software grades your child on their test, let's you know how much time they spent on each problem and the test, It also keeps records of your child's progress letting you know what multiplication facts your child is struggling with. I can't give this software credit for her learning, but it has been helpful in so many ways, and convenient. She is doing so much better day by day and love taking the test on the software because it times her so she can learn how to work at a faster pace, and think fast. The games are not that fun, but overall its very helpful.
