I bought this CD for my 9 year old nephew and I have to be honest that he hated it. BUT it still worked, I told him to learn them and we'd quit listening to the CD and he learned at lightening speed just to get away from it. The tunes can be a little folksy but I thought it was a good way to learn and it does stick in your head.

I bought several Multiplication CD's and this was absolutely the best one. It includes skip counting which really has helped my daughter learn her multiplication facts. Buy this one!

My child has a processing disorder which make math extremely difficult. She has always been able to learn song lyrics easily, and this CD was no exception. Kids in 2nd grade can get a great start to 3rd grade math by learning to count by multiples of numbers 2 through 12. I would definitely recommend to all kids, especially those who like music, but not learning basic multiplication.
Corny songs, but they work! February 27, 2005

My daughter was convinced she was never going to be able to memorize all of those times tables, so I bought this CD. The songs are a bit folkish, but the rhythym suits each table and made quick work of memorization for her. We listen to it in the car and now are listening to Division Unplugged as well. The bonus...my 5 year old AND my two year old can sing most of the times tables as well. They don't know what they are, but that'll come later. Good luck!
Absolutely the best multiplication resource I've ever tried. August 22, 1999

I purchased this for use with my third grade class and I have to say that we played it so much I had to replace the tape! This collection of songs was put together with a great deal of thought. Each melody is different, very musical and very catchy. NOT the usual rap sounds that I had expected to hear. As a matter of fact, the tunes are so catchy they almost have a hypnotic effect. Even adults find themselves singing the times tables after class. (Looks a bit crazy, I know!)What I especially like about these songs is that they also teach skip counting. The chorus of every single song is actually skip counting. So, not only do students learn all of their timetables, they can count by 6's, 7's, even 12's with no problem! The use of skip counting makes this tape perfect for grade three students as a primer and for grade four students as a resource and review. The flip side of the cassette allows for students to test themselves. I have had many students tell me that they do well on their tests because of these songs! I often recommend this cassette kit for home use as a fun way to review.
