momsuz123 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 My older dd is really doing well with Times Tales, even my younger one is starting to catch on (she is listening, I am not making her do it, yet). Someone on here posted about something kind of like Times Tales, and I can't think of it, or find the thread. Thanks - much appreciated.

You can get several levels for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not Timez Attack, she is doing that too. It is similiar to Times Tales where you memorize little stories to help you know you facts. Thanks though.

Crimson Wife Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Times Tables the Fun Way? I tried this with my DD but it didn't work for her. I thought it would because she's such a verbal kid but it was harder for her to try to remember the little story than just to learn the facts. She did much better with Mindware's Multiplication Mosaics. Also, she needed DH to step in as "bad cop" and suspend her screen privileges until she had them memorized. That lit a fire under her and she got them mastered in a week after months of me unsuccessfully trying a bunch of different approaches.

It's not what you are looking for, but I found Googol Power has some very nice things. Well nice if you can convince your kids to watch or listen. :glare: (Mind you with the very rare exception my kids wouldn't watch anything on tv, and prefer to make there own music to listening to music. So this is in no way saying that most kids wouldn't find it enjoyable.) http://www.googolpower.com/content/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetobehome Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We used Multiplication in Minutes, it worked GREAT for multiplication....but I wish I hadn't, because we just started division and now she is rather crippled.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkid Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Times Tables the Fun Way? It has a computer game too like Timez Attack or Times Tales, if that's what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
