I purchased this DVD to help my third grader learn his multiplication facts for school. He enjoys watching and looks forward to each new video as he progresses with his facts. It has taught him a couple fun tricks to help with his multiplication. I definitely need to supplement this with flashcards, but it is a fun break for him to watch this DVD.

This DVD has some great songs that even my 3 yr old is starting to memorize so I definitely think it will help my kids learn their multiplication tables. The only thing that drives me crazy about this DVD is the menu selection. I usually play it in the van and the short songs are great for quick trips. However you have to manually select the "Play All" feature so that it will go once over all the songs. It is quite a few clicks to get to that option too so it makes it hard when you can't see the screen to know if you're on "Play All". Otherwise you select one song at a time and since they are pretty short you have to do that often. All in all a great dvd but very poor menu selection.

I watched Schoolhouse Rock when I was a kid. My siblings and I were riveted on Saturday mornings. Those videos helped me tremendously. Now, I'm a teacher with struggling kids and English Learners. Whenever we have extra time, they want to watch these videos. Kids from other classrooms want to come and watch. My 13-year-old is hypnotized every bit as much as my 3rd graders. How great is that?

This DVD/CD is worth every cent. Teaches the children not only their mulitplication facts but it also teaches them how to multiply double digit problems and has an interactive game/review at the end.

Kids still need to memorize math facts to do well in school. This is a fun way to vary the practice from just studying fact cards.

This is takes me back to the good olde days of learning! This is just what I needed for my daughter who was having difficulty learing her multiplication tables! The songs are what made me learn them and I am so glad that I was able to purchase this for my child! The interactive triva games are a PLUS as well!! My daughter just LOVES this!!!

As a kid, I heard all these songs and didn't realize how many of them I committed to memory until I heard them again. Watching this with my 7 year old brought back many memories and I was singing and dancing right along with him. I didn't appreciate the wonderful music and lyrics back then. So that's where I learned the Preamble!!! Great product!

I watched school house rock segments between cartoons when I was a kid and loved them. I now have two daughters (7 and 9) that love music and have my abilities with math :( So, I got this dvd to see if they would memorize the songs and thus learn the math without knowing it. So tricky but it worked. They go around singing the songs all day. I would recommend this dvd wholeheartedly!!

I think I enjoyed this more than my son!
My husband and I sat there singing along!
It's a great way of having kids remember
their multiplication table through music.
