It has been fabulous for both boys. However, last year they added Rocket Math to the mix. They also felt that the kids weren't learning the basic facts well enough. WE really like the rocket math program of timed tests. If you want to get some worksheets the website that has some great worksheets and follows the rocket math program pretty closely is http://www.dadsworksheets.com/. I also agree with finding and playing games that use math facts. Good luck!bethnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925445362262701667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249138150937929912.post-58007605274217067692011-01-13T11:45:27.688-08:002011-01-13T11:45:27.688-08:00Have missed you!

I also think that trying to stay ahead of his little brother will spur him into wanting to get them memorized.<br /><br />I personally am terrible at math. My mother spent hours and hours with me and flash cards. I still don't have confidence that I have memorized them correctly and revert to addition and counting on my fingers.<br /><br />Do they make DS games with math? Or create some real life situations that he enjoys and show him how multiplication knowledge makes problem solving easier - like if you are hosting a party for all of the 3 local scout troops, and each troop has a different number of scouts in them, multiplication can be a quick and easy way to figure out how many party favors to have on hand so no one is left out, etc. Games that present them in a fun way make it less of a chore and allow them to focus on learning.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.com
