I bought this for my darling 12 year old. She has yet to master her multiplication facts. She has had a difficult time with reading and math. This is how I stumbled across this company. Anyways I have tried numerous products and books and still her math facts aren't sticking. Thus book consists of half the book is fill in a facts chart and the other half is brain games. Can see why some would get frustrated by purchasing a book and half of it it the same page over and over. But for my daughter I think it may actually be what she needs. She needs the repetition and then the beain games force her to focus and complete the task. She has used it for a week now. She hasn't gotten the whole table down yet but she seems to like the book. Other things would frustrate her and she would end up in tears.Below are some pages she has completed, as well as some that are yet to be done.
I picked this book up because I was having trouble teaching the kids multiplication.I never learned my tables by rote- and I have severe math anxiety, so instead of the "Drill and Kill" method of old- I decided to try these.My guys aren't big on coloring and doodling- but the practice (so far) has been working and there's no mutiny in the works after our first week of using this.My guys are 10, in 4thish grade- and have dysgraphia.I would highly recommend any of these journals and guides to any person who wished for a more creative style of learning.If your child loves to color, even better!!**Edited to add that both kids have nearly memorized the entire table via skip counting!! (took less than a month- still using it!)
Both my 7 and 9 year old girls are using this book. I am having them each do a few pages a week as a nice review and practice. There are a lot of multiplication charts to complete and lovely creative logic games to complete (see what is missing from a picture pattern and complete the pictures) logic is the single most valuable skill to have in math and life and it is wonderful that this is a skill that can be improved! This would be great for visual learners and kids who don't like the usual drill and kill style of learning math!
My girls , ages 10 and 12, were having some issues in memorization of their Multiplication tables. We have tried flash card drills, worksheets from workbooks but neither seemed to help. They are strong in other areas of math, but when it comes to multiplication tables, they have some weaknesses. I found the Multiplication Games workbook by Sarah Janisse Brown and it is AMAZING ! The book is filled with Multiplication tables on multiple pages alongside multiplication logic puzzle pages that really get your child thinking. I have my girls work in their books each day and fill out 2 pages at least - one multiplication facts table and one logic puzzle. This book is a great supplement to have and works well alongside our regular math program. My girls are now stronger in their Multiplication Facts and it is all thanks to this wonderful book. Multiplication Facts have now never been so easy to grasp !
My Math hating/fearing daughter lit up when she saw this in the mail! She had been using, and enjoying Sarah's Comic Book Math so when she saw one for Multiplication she was very excited. I can't stress how much I love these books! Repetition is the key to my heart!!
Some good ideas, but the same multiplication table is on at least half of the pages. I was hoping for more variety.
My daughter loves this book. She struggles with the traditional ways of memorizing math facts. These games made it all click for her. It is math without frustration and tears. She no longer thinks she is stupid because no matter what we tried it didn't make things stick in her memory. So thankful for these games.
Love it. Love it. Love it. My son loves it. He's excited to work on his multiplication tables every day. The pages are repetitive, but I think that's the point. There are enough pages that are different to make this a good value for your money. I'll update my review in a few months to share how well he's done with his facts. SN: I suspect dyscalalia so learning the facts has been a slow process for us. He is ten.
