5.0 out of 5 stars Times Tables made easy and fun!, March 3, 2001

This review is from: Times Tables! (Hardcover)

A durable bookmark "Answer Decoder" is included and comes attached with a red ribbon. You place it over a panel of numbers so that the colored edges match the color bands on the page. The products of the times table will then appear in the windows. So on page 15, you will see (4 x 1 = 4 1 5) When you place the decoder on the page the answer (4) is in the window.

On some of the pages, there is a folded edge which hides the "product." On the outside of the folded edge you will find objects which equal the "product." On the inside, you will find the answer in numbers.

This book will succeed in making the learning and practice of multiplication fun. When children understand what happens to the numbers when they are multiplied, it encourages children to "learn" the times tables rather than simply memorizing them.

The numbers and pictures are bright and colorful. Pictures of paint brushes, drums, dogs, cats, crayons, umbrellas, balloons, shoes, blocks, bugs, chess pieces,. bowling pins, beads and soccer balls make this book a treat.

A "Multiplication Square" and a "Times Table Wheel" are also included. For even more fun, look for the "Double Dice" game on the inside front cover. You will need some real dice which are not included. Children will be able to test their times-table skills in the game. Then, they can solve picture puzzles and calculator challenges.

Yes, multiplication can be fun. I wish my mom had purchased this book for me as a child, but it wasn't published until 1996. Don't miss out on this great book for your child! Your children will use their knowledge of times tables during their whole life! What a great start to a bright future.
