This concise and colorful little bundle makes multiplication so easy to understand, and grasp at its core. Even my 5 year old, who isn't necessarily some magical math whiz, started the pages with his older sister and it made total sense to him. I've seen tons of other math curriculums fumble their way through introducing multiplication and this is just so much smoother. I'm glad I got these pages for my daughter's summer enrichment because I think when he class starts learning it officially this fall it will make so much more sense, and she'll be ready for the rote-memory element. Definitely recommend as a review or add on supplement :)
I love that the lessons don't assume the child knows the fundamentals and go step by step in words and pictures!
Personally, it was not as challenging as I thought it would be for 3rd grade. I wish there was a better preview of the forms. I paid for it hoping it would be great, unfortunately, I did not think it was.
Oh no! I'm so sorry this wasn't up to your expectations. I take feedback very seriously and will be incorporating your suggestions into future versions of this product.
We haven’t officially started it yet, but I have liked through and it looks really fun and I think my daughter will enjoy it. Great way to learn multiplication facts easier.
When nothing else has worked... Try this! It's amazing. Open and go, fun, engaging and written so students with learning differences can excel with it too.
I absolutely love this program, after years of trying other things! I hope a full curriculum is next!!
