mamaof4happykiddos Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Is it necessary or a must buy? How helpful is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohini Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 You don't need it. Just practice skip counting. IMO the schoolhouse rock songs are better.... you could always try to torrent it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arboreal TJ Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Don't do it! I thought it was horrible. The songs are difficult to understand, the recording quality is terrible. I gave ours away, I couldn't in good conscience sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3monkeys Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 They are terrible. Listened one time and put it away. I love the Classical Conversations skip counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We freecycled ours. Ugh. Not necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocky Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We liked them too. The CD has bible-themed skip counting songs from 2 to 9, a making tens addition song, and secular themed skip counting songs from 2 to 9. The production is very simple - piano and a very small group of children singing. We listened to it in the car on short drives, and it taught my then second grader how to skip count up to 10. This has been very helpful for her when she learned muliplication this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 They did the trick for us. My 8 year old absolutely flew through memorization of the multiplication tables, thanks in large part to many months (years?) of MUS Skip Counting songs. We're beginning CC this fall, so I'm sure we'll have a little trouble singing their skip counting songs after having MUS's songs ingrained on our brains!

SebastianCat Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We liked them, but haven't used any other skip counting songs to compare them with. I think I bought it used, and then re-sold it when we were done with it, so I didn't make a huge investment in it. ;) I'd definitely recommend SOME kind of skip counting songs, because they really help those math facts "stick" better than just rote memorization.
