 Not for older children September 7, 2009

I bought this book and the Multiplication facts book for my 11 year old son after seeing all the glowing reviews. He struggles with math facts and I hoped it would help. After we read the first section, it was clear that these books are geared for very young children who are just starting. I guess it depends also what type of learner your child is. I personally thought the stories were difficult to remember and didn't do anything to promote actual learning of the facts. I ended up returning both.

My child is entering the third grade this year, he is in the "gifted and talented" program at his school. He loves problem solving and logic, and is very good at math concepts, but memorizing math facts has been a nightmare. He hates doing flash cards, and whenever his teacher times him for "Math 36 club", he freezes up and can't remember a thing. Even addition and subtraction facts have been hard, even though he reads on a seventh grade level and tests math concepts at 5th grade. I found this book, and he LOVES it. It has been one week, and he asks to work on it every day. After one week, he as all the times tables down from 1 to 11 and can do them in 5 minutes. This is AMAZING. The best part, is, he now understands that if he works on this, he will be even better at math because he won't have to think so hard to solve the advanced problems he otherwise enjoys.
THIS WORKS! July 6, 2009

This book worked wonders!! I love it, my son loves it, I can't rave about it enough. He remembered the stories faster than I did! It didn't take him long at all to remember them, they're easy to remember and so cute. I was shocked that he also was able to understand how to use them for subtraction, he just has to remember the story and which "guy" is missing. He was able to subtract within a week! I can't understand how it was confusing for anyone, it's so great. I'm definately going to be ordering times tables the fun way. I just ordered a catalog to see what all they have!
Amazing improvements! February 4, 2009

When I read these stories to my first grade students they remember their addition problems easily! Subtraction has become a lot easier for them to remember too!
Glad we gave it a try October 26, 2008

My son was not able to memorize the addition facts, even though we have done flashcards and games for over a year. We have been using this book for about 2 weeks, and he can now respond with the correct answer for all of the 3's, 4's and 5's. It is working for him and I am thrilled!
