RamonaQ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I think I read here of some sort of little electronic device that people used to help their children quiz multiplication facts? It would be a huge bonus if it did division too. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHASRADA Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 If it hasn't already been mentioned, I would highly recommend the book "Memorize in Minutes". It consists of stories with pictures for every multiplication fact. It is the only thing that worked for my dyslexic dd. It is similar to "Times Tales", which only addresses the upper facts, but I like it much better since it teaches all the facts. I personally had a difficult time learning my facts as a child, and persisted to have several I could not remember into adulthood. These stories have allowed me to memorize my remaining facts as well. It gives the student a reference point to access when trying to recall the fact, rather than relying on rote memorization. http://www.multiplication.com/order.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 This isn't an electronic device, but the Times Tables the Fun Way book was the only way my son could memorize multiplication facts. He went from missing more than half the questions on the pretest to missing only 2 questions in less than a week! DS is VERY visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4tea Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Have you tried singing to familiar kids tunes, ie, skip counting by 2's are sung to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I know you said your son is very visual, but even this worked for my visual dd. And its free! If interested I'll post the other tunes.
