Mama Anna Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We're a musical family. We do a lot of memorization with rhythm, hand-jive, and even some made-up songs. Dd7 is still working to get some subtraction facts down and I know dd4 will be coming along soon as well. Even dd10 might benefit from math fact review. So. Are these a good series in which to invest? Have they helped your dc? If we bring them into the house and begin to play them will we curse the day we even thought of them because they're lame and they're so permanently stuck in our heads that we can't get them out . . . ("This is the song that never ends - it just goes on and on, my friend . . .") What has your experience been? TIA! Mama Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'smom Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I am not familiar with that particular product, but if songs work well for your kids, you can find a ton on YouTube. You can check them out to see how annoying they are before teaching them to the kids. Plus, it's free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 They're working well for my daughter and they use a slightly different tune for each so they don't stick in your head in that really annoying way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We have only used songs for skip counting but I can tell you they have really really helped as we have started multiplication. We use the CC math skip counting songs (we aren't in CC anymore but still use them). You can find some of them on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 We have only used songs for skip counting but I can tell you they have really really helped as we have started multiplication. We use the CC math skip counting songs (we aren't in CC anymore but still use them). You can find some of them on youtube. And on their apps:) I used the CC skip counting songs with my dd4 last year, even the squares and cubes. I do admit some of them are...not the best. I changed some a bit, or added a bit here and there, but they were pretty effective. We have a few addition/subtraction versions but my kiddo didn't take to them as well. She preferred to just play games:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 We used the skip counting songs by Math U See and they did the job. Multiplication and division were very easy for all 3 of mine and only 1 of mine is naturally mathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
