Book Reviews of Times Tables the Fun Way: Book for Kids: A Picture Method of Learning the Multiplication Facts
Book Review: Some Pro's and Con's
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this book a little over a month ago. I was really impressed at how quickly my son was learning his times facts. He can associate the stories in the book to the times facts w/ answers fairly quickly. After we had gone through all the stories, I made up a worksheet with just the title of each story (15 stories total)and had him handwrite the times facts and the answers. He did this wonderfully! I was jumping for joy.
HOWEVER, (the reason for the 3 stars), when my son was given just the times fact (no story), for example, 7x6 on a flash card, a blank sheet of paper, or orally he could not associate the times fact to the story! But if I did it the other way around (if I gave him the story first) he was able to recall the times fact and the answer, no fail! This was so frustrating! When given just the 7x6 etc, he acts like he's never seen those numbers before. This was unexpected.
Now, I am trying to come up w/ new ways to help him. But at the same time trying to incorporate what he's learned so far in some other way.
