FriedClams Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Seriously - I LOVE this product!!! The website said your kids would learn their times tables in two 45 minute sessions - and mine did - like a champ with nearly no review needed. It's unreal. My DD, 7, is in the end of Horizon's 2 - and now a page of math takes about 20 minutes (vice writing out number lines, etc. for the times tables). They learn a story with numbers as characters in the story, and the equations STICK. It's amazing. I will be writing the company also - but if your kids are struggling with the tables - buy this. And no - I am not a paid advertiser - just a mom who seriously thinks this is one of the very best products out there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runamuk Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 That looks like a fun program. I'm going to give it a try as we're struggling with our times tables right now. Thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ummto4 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thanks for sharing. My son is nowhere close to multiplication. But that will sure be handy when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cillakat Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I like Memorize in Minutes: The Times Tables even better than Times Tales b/c it has *all* of the multiplication from 2-10. They're both similar....but MIM is more comprehensive. :) K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Cillakat, I hadn't heard of Memorize in Minutes; thanks for sharing! Here's a link in case others would like more information: Memorize in Minutes : The Times Tables by Alan B Walker. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langfam Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) I know !!!!! I wanted to make this very same post about Times Tales. It is super-amazing-fast-easy-painless way to learn mulitiplication!!!!! TimesTales worked for my ds because it uses the same "characters" in the stories. Each number is assigned a character symbol, for example, 3 is a butterfly and 3 is the butterfly in every story. The number characters interact with other number characters to make up the stories.
