Editorial Review

It looks like a Jedi light saber (and surely more than one Star Wars fan will play with it as such), but this unique and colorful toy is actually a snappy way to master multiplication. Create multiplication problems by turning and spinning the dials. Then, with a click of a button, an LCD display screen lets you see and hear the correct answer. Catchy music makes learning fun, and a friendly, cartoonish voice repeats the answer, then encourages and congratulates with each success. Included are simple instructions that make learning and using easy. This cool tool can be used to build math equations, self-test, learn multiplication tables in sequence, or be tested with random equations. Made of hard plastic, this item is extremely portable and has automatic shut- off. It is somewhat loud, however, so it's not appropriate for quieter environments. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars a great toy for any 2nd or 3rd grader, September 18, 1999

This is not like flashcards at all. My son gets home from school and if it is sitting out he just grabs it and starts playing. Math is not his favorite, but this toy is. He loves to show off his knowledge of the big numbers. (ie. 11x12, 9x12 etc). After I saw how popular this toy was I started thinking of every possible 2nd and 3rd grader I needed to but Christmas presents for.

I bought this as a last chance thing, because no matter how hard my daughter tried, she could not seem to memorize any multiplication tables past 6. One weekend with this gadget, and she can now not only recite multiplication tables from 1 to 12, but can also multiply equations in her head! Her math scores have doubled, and I am just too happy with this gadget! I have recommended it to other moms going thru the same thing, and after suggesting it to her math teacher, he bought one, and gives it to children to "play" with as a reward!

I teach third grade. One of my students brought in Twist and Shout Multiplication to help the students review. All of my kids love it and enjoy reviewing their math facts with it. It incorporates math review and an exciting game.
