Reviews

“As one who hated learning their multiplication tables way back when, this program is great! I wish it had been available back then (the dark days as my children call it). The program will really help children learn their times tables. The tutorial section is clear, without being too dry and boring. The games are fun, with just enough help when it is needed. The variety of characters played by Professor Finkle help to keep the program fresh and interesting. And the jokes will definitely appeal to young children.”

“Thank you so much! My students love it!”

This is an exciting and colorful program that not only drills the memorization of multiplication tables but also truly teaches them through innovative songs and interactive games. A quick mouse click anywhere on the screen quickly takes the user to the start of the interactive portion of this software. Practice sessions carry the theme of cups and beans through each section to further emphasize the concepts. These sessions may be customized to focus only on certain numbers. Puzzles and Games has five different games that help users practice their multiplication knowledge. Each game presents a different approach to learning drills, and offers something for every kind of learner. Times Tables Songs offer both an audio-only version of helping the memorization process and a combination audio and video in a kereoke style game. Flash Card is an updated version of the age-old drill technique -- only this time it's on-line and interactive! Tips and Tricks Videos offers seven videos of multiplication tricks to help the student memorize the tables. Educational Value This software package offers more than just rote memory practice of multiplication tables -- it genuinely teaches multiplication. It uses a standard example of having some number of one item and some number of another item and the relationship between those items. Using the cup and bean analogy taught within this package, the student can apply the method to any multiplication problem. Kid Appeal This software application is full of bright colors and lots of things to play with. It is extremely interactive so the student always has something to do. The student does not have to be guided through this application by an adult nor would they want to be, it might lessen the fun! The audio that accompanies the application is very nurturing; it gives lots of praise for a correct answer and lets the student off easily when an answer is incorrect. Professor Finkle has a very expressive face and his language and enthusiasm is perfect for this age group.

Synopsis: Math presented with so much humor and creativity! Times Table Factory is a fun place for kids to play - while memorizing and learning to use the times tables. Kids quicklymake an amazing discovery; that one person, using many creative costumes, represents the many characters (a cowboy, gangster, pirate, caveman, salesman, and the professor) in this presentation. The pirate grabs kids attention with the use of his zany voice and pirate vocabulary. He calls them buck-o's, and asks them about being keel hauled or riding in a rumble seat. Children continue to remain interested, with this unique approach, when the main character is the cave man using typical cave man grammar. Educational Value: Parents have access to 70 printable worksheets and can print progress reports. They can also customize practice problems if they would like their child to practice a particular table. Graphics: Built-in videos demonstrate that multiplication is simply adding by groups. Using cups filled with beans children can visualize the process of multiplication. Kids practice skip counting by 1's. 5's, and 10's as they play. These concepts are reinforced throughout the program. Also on the videos, memorization tricks are presented to help children remember the multiplication tables.
