A recommended resource January 3, 2007

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 December 15, 2006

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 top pick! October 6, 2006

"Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables" is one of my top picks for 3rd graders at www.math-mom.com
This workbook is a wonderfully entertaining, clear, and memorable way to understand multiplication and to learn the times tables! Younger students will also benefit from this book; cute characters and cartoon creatures appear on each page. As soon as the book arrived, my 5 year old daughter was eager to work on it. Pattern after pattern in the 10 by 10 multiplication grid are highlighted, making multiplication easy to understand and facts easy to remember. This book includes review problems and concludes with a mixture of the facts to be mastered.
A great math tool with a FUN approach! August 2, 2006

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....
I learned some neat things, too. June 18, 2006

"Teach Your Child Multiplication Tables" is terrific. It is working beautifully with our grandchildren. They are fascinated with the easy patterns and tricks. Finally, multiplication is fun. We wish we'd had this workbook for our own children and eliminated all those agonizing hours at the kitchen table. We highly recommend this book to parents and grandparents of second and third graders.
