 Plutifikation is fun! June 27, 2005

When this book arrived I took one look at it and thought "Why should I confuse my kids with stories that go along with every fact?" It sounded like too much translating from story to numbers to me. I expressed my disappointment to my 8 year old who had watched me open the package. She took the book from me and began reading the stories (which are very simple and short). Within minutes she and her 6 year old sister were on the couch laughing and learning... literally teaching themselves. The book is written with such easy to follow "teachers" instructions that my kids were "playing" school and learning the facts themselves. There is also website www.mulitplication.com which provides you with incredible support. If you have creative kids who love to read, act out stories, and draw then they will love this method of learning the times tables. The basic concept of multiplication is laid out and an almost automatic way of remembering the facts via very short stories and pictures is the vehicle by which they are able to recall the facts. I would like to thank the author and publisher for this has lightened our load immensly!
This Actually Works! February 15, 2005

As a public school teacher I searched for thirteen years to find something to help my students learn their multiplication facts. Now that I am homeschooling my own children, I have finally found something that actually works!
Everything you need is in this Teaching Manual. There are no other materials to buy.
The whole concept seemed a bit odd at first. In fact I waited until now, when we are almost finished with the book, to write this because I was a bit leary about the program.
Now my daughter knows her facts in a snap. She has not missed one fact on the timed tests I give her each day since begining the program. Also, her times get faster each day. She has told me more than once, "Mom, this is fun!" How many times do you hear that when teaching children multiplication facts?!?!
I give my daughter two facts a day. There are big and little flash cards included in the book. Each number and each multiplication fact has a story. I have her act out the stories and repeat them back to me. The author explains that it is easier for our brains to remember pictures than it is numbers. If your child can remember the stories and pictures, they will remember the facts. Why didn't I think of this?!

My son struggled in Math last year gradually losing self confidence. I knew it was because he just didn't know those facts.He has almost completed the program and tests with 100% accuracy. He also has said "This is kinda' fun" HELLO..has anyone else EVER heard those words when memorizing the times tables?

My son didn't "get" multiplication at all until we got this book. After using the book, he now finds it easy. Multiplication is taught using stories. Each number has its own character in the stories (4 is always Door). For a visual/reader learner it is the best thing out there. If your child doesn't get multiplication by rote memorization, please try this method. It really worked for us!
