I can't find quality skip counting music [Posted on 2007-04-26] I am a second grade teacher, and I'm introducing multiplication. I have been searching for a math cassette or CD to help make learning multiplication fun. At this stage I am more interested in the kids learning to count by 2s, 3s,...12s, and making the connection that way. I am looking for music that includes skip counting. Does this cassette include this, and not just times tables? I previously purchased a CD that sang random times tables, and it lacked quality. I don't want to get burned again.
Effective [Posted on 2008-02-22] The music part of this packet is excellent. I've read criticisms about the music, but let's be realistic: it's multiplication tables. It needs to be musically simple and catchy. It's not technically "folksy," but is very similar to the style of music on most CDs for small children. The lyrics in the accompanying book are helpful, but not so much the worksheets. There is one page per number, which assumes that a child is going to master the multiplication tables on the first go-round. I've been printing out supplemental pages each day and doing each number daily for a week. It's catching on where the dry drills weren't.
OK for an additional study on the Times Tables [Posted on 2008-05-13] Every book helps some but it is hard to listen long enough to grasp it all. My daughter listened a few times but soon plugged her ears. What can I say.

It's True What They Say [Posted on 2008-06-28] I read the reviews for this CD and was hopeful that they were true...and they were! The songs are all different from eachother (unlike another multiplication CD I bought) and very cute. The skip-counting is a real bonus. If you have an auditory learner and/or a music lover, this is a good choice.
Fun Multiplication [Posted on 2008-06-29] What a fun and easy way to study multiplication!!! My 9, 6, and 4 year old love to listen to this in the car. Nice tunes and you can understand all of the words.
