Review
Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables is everything I think a multiplication workbook should be, and my daughter thinks it's lots of fun. Set around a circus theme, the books is child-friendly with lots of pictures, large print and plenty of space for writing the answers. The best part of this book, however, is that rote memorization is not the goal, rather understanding the inherent patterns is. My daughter works through this workbook at her own pace, whenever she's in the mood for it, and she's already had quite a few "ah-ha!" moments as she recognizes and predicts the various patterns. -- California Homeschool News, December 2006

5.0 out of 5 stars
A recommended resource,

This review is from: Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables: Fast, Fun & Easy with Dazzling Patterns, Grids & Tricks! (Paperback)
Many children struggle learning and recalling multiplication facts, and need other techniques rather than rote memorization to master these skills. Eugenia Francis' workbook utilizes wonderful, brain-compatible strategies and methods to do so - such as learning to recognize and attend to patterns for the multiplication tables, using memory tricks/mnemonics, and other engaging and fun techniques. I recommend Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables as a helpful resource for children to learn the math facts and understand the principles of multiplication.

Great for homeschoolers,
This review is from: Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables: Fast, Fun & Easy with Dazzling Patterns, Grids & Tricks! (Paperback)
My 4th grader was really struggling with retaining the multiplication facts until he started using this book. I saw a big difference right away in his ability to remember. The only suggestion I would make is to have your child say the entire equation out loud while also writing down the answers, because sometimes the patterns come to the forefront, and I found that my child did not always connect the pattern back to multiplication facts themselves. So, for the fives, for example, instead of just having my son write down 5, 10, 15, 20, etc., I would have him say "5 times 1 is 5, 5 times 2 is 10, 5 times 3 is 15, 5 times 4 is 20," etc. as he was writing them down. It made a huge difference in retention. Overall, this is a great product, especially for homeschoolers who are looking to make learning the times tables fun. Highly recommended.

A great math tool with a FUN approach!,

This review is from: Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables: Fast, Fun & Easy with Dazzling Patterns, Grids & Tricks! (Paperback)
The book excels at bringing the fun back to mathematics. Rather than laboring the standard learning techniques for the multiplication tables, the author focuses on innovative grid patterns. The learning process is less about memorization and more about discovery. This book should be praised for its great success in making learning fun again. Your child might even think he/she is playing a game instead of practicing math! Highly recommended....
