Following in my footsteps, my daughter is not much of a math person. She would rather spend her hours in the pages of a good book than sit down to work math problems. It takes some persuasion, but she somehow gets through her lessons and keeps cruising along on the road of mathematics. To help keep her interest, I always go in search of math games, anything to make it enjoyable.
When multiplication came up, I immediately saw that it was even less her cup of tea than anything she had learned before. It was time to find a new game. I wanted her to be able to visualize the numbers, rather than just memorize the tables. Luckily, after a quick search on the net, I found Timez Attack. I never dreamed I could discover such a perfect tool for teaching my daughter this essential skill. It is a video game that teaches and reinforces the logic behind the numbers. Kids defeat a creepy ogre using their multiplication skills. The graphics are great, my daughter asks to play, and she is learning really fast.
I am not one to write about products, but this one is really over the top. So, if you happen to know some little person who is ready to multiply, they'll love you for telling them about this fun way to learn. Timez Attack offers a free version you can download off the Net, or you can buy the full version to enjoy an even greater game. Now, if only there was some interactive game that would teach her to love cleaning her room!
