Boring! [Posted on 2006-11-27]
I bought this along with the division, addition, and subtraction for my 8 and 5 year olds and they are all so boring. Yes the information on them is good but useless if your kids can't stand listening to it. The songs are so long and there's no rythm to make the songs catchy or fun. I understand that different people like different types of music. If your kids tend to like pop music like you hear on the radio then they will not like this.

Not as good as I hoped... [Posted on 2007-10-17]
My daughter lost interest in this quickly. I had hoped with all the good reveiws that I would have been happy with it. She is always playing music and singing songs but it just didn't catch her attention.

You won't stop singing them! [Posted on 2008-02-15]
I have not listened to other products designed to teach multiplication so am unable to compare. One of the reviews I read here on Amazon prior to my ordering it said that the songs were juvenile and babyish....so I was skeptical when I ordered. But, now that we are using it (we are homeschoolers) I am more than pleased. I wouldn't call the tunes juvenile or babyish, but they are simple....and for that I am glad. They get right to the point and have you singing by 4's,6's, 9's, etc. and right on into the multiplication problems themselves. It is right in line with the way Saxon Math (which we use) teaches the times table. My 2nd grader is singing the tunes constantly. Although he rarely ASKS to listen to them, I just play the ones that apply (they are organized nicely on the disc) and I hear him singing along in the next room. Warning...you, the parent, or anyone listening, will find that you can't stop singing them....they get drilled into your head even with very little listening time. I am comfortable recommending this product to anyone.

Great Way to Teach Multiplication Tables [Posted on 2008-06-20]
I purchased this product for my granddaughter. My goal was to teach her the 12 multiplication tables during the the two weeks I was visiting the East coast. And, I succeeded. She learned all the tables with the help of this CD. I would totally recommend it for parents who are frustrated with their children comprehending math. I taught my granddaughter to listen several times to one table, write what she heard in a notebook. Next to her written list, I reversed the multiplication to a division problem, then to a fraction problem. She was able to hear the CD, write what she heard, reverse the multiplication to a division and then reduce fractions to the lowest common denominator - that gave her an extra study sheet, as well as an idea of how multiplication, division and reducing fractions all require the same conclusion.

Just Awful [Posted on 2008-06-22]
I bought this for my 9 yr old b/c she was having trouble committing multiplication tables to memory. We put it on in the car and even I couldn't bear to listen to it. There is no rhyme or repetition to these "songs". I'm a teacher and I was hoping to use them with my class, but I wouldn't dare put them through the agony of listening to this. Just a waste of money.
