So far, so good!,

This review is from: Multiplication in a Flash: Teaching Manual (Paperback)
I bought this book recently for my 3rd-grader as her teacher is moving her class rapidly through the times tables and she felt a bit behind. She grabbed the book and started memorizing the stories and it really helped! I did slow her down a bit and went through the pre-test to determine which facts she did not know. There is a lot of copying of the book needed if you go through all the optional reinforcing exercises / tests that are available. I am doing 1 fact a day with her (she already knew 5x times table, and the 0's, 1's, 2's, and lower 3's and 4's) and then having her do the worksheets and quizzes. About 6 more facts and we will be done!

My ten-year old son was having trouble memorizing his math facts. Repetition didn't help. I wanted something fun and that would get him interested. After doing some research I discovered this book on Amazon. I showed him the picture on the front and got a laugh, good start. The book breaks down all of the numbers and puts them into story form so that the brain retains the memory of how they go together. Easy to learn and use. I'm impressed, his seven-year old sister is picking up the facts too. His teacher at school was also intrigued and purchased the book.

This review is from: Multiplication in a Flash: Teaching Manual (Paperback)
We got this book, after my 3rd grade daughter's extended math teacher recommended she needed help with some of the basics with multiplication tables. She (daughter) thought it would be "fun" to see if her 5 year old sister could pick up the ideas and learn her "times tables", even though she is not yet in school and has no frame of reference for multiplication. IT WORKED!!!
The 8 year old now seamlessly cruises through her multiplication: went from 50% in 10 minutes (time limit) on standardized test to 100% in 5 mins after only one exposure to the techniques and materials. (We altered the plan a little since she already knows much of the material: used the stories and pictures to reinforce the less-easily known multiplication facts.) The 5 year old now can recite the answers to several multiplication facts: walks around the house saying "skate times skate is sticky floor" (another of her favorites: "tree times surfin' is denty sun"!!) Now their 3 year old brother is wondering what he's missing out on and insisted that he have his own copies of the number pictures and equation pictures to color and "learn" -- he calls it his "work" and sits down with his own pages when his 8 year old sister works on homework in afternoon :) Thanks so much! Highly, highly recommend this book and the techniques within.
