The EZ TIMES TABLE is a helpful tool for both remediated and excelled math students. Students are able to construct the entire multiplication table using this ingenious format. Number patterns are laid out for discovery. My students enjoyed the success of zipping through the process. I enjoyed looking at the completed table with them and exploring all the extended activities."

Mr. Biesanz's EZ Times Table book will be a valuable resource for parents to help their children master multiplication facts. I am purchasing a copy for the families at the school where I teach. Many kids who traditionally have trouble with multiplication will find that the connections and patterns revealed in this book help multiplication make sense in new ways. This method provides a way for kids to recreate the times tables when they are "stuck," and is also helpful for division and fractions.

EZ Times Table teaches Multiplication but it also teaches pattern recognition which is so important in almost every learning situation. Those patterns make it fun for the kids which creates a positive attitude toward learning.

EZ Times Table is a simple, systematic approach, which assists in memorization of multiplication facts. Review and repetition are built into each lesson. Using movement, rhythm, and visual patterns to explore multiplication, Thomas Biesanz has created a program to engage students of all learning styles. These patterns are a useful tool for multiplication mastery.
