Multiplication Vacation

I bought this for my 8 year old who is struggling with his tables. He doesn't really care for the songs. I listen to it more than he does! I play it in the car, so maybe by the time my 5 year old gets to 3rd grade she'll know her tables from the songs. The songs are actually quite good, though some parts are a bit corny. You follow aliens as they go on a multiplication vacation around Earth. The songs are about different places, constellations, historical figures, so the kids can learn more than just their multiplication tables. It's a pretty long CD and the lyrics are not designed for quick memorization, so this is not an overnight fix for a struggling student. But it stands up to repeated listening, so if you start early enough, it may do the trick.

Although I thought the songs and talking were pretty cheesy... My kids seem to love it. I have boys ages 4 to 8. They sing along and think the talking parts are funny. Go figure. I guess it's working though. They're learning their multiplication facts.

My children LOVE this CD. It has helped them so much with their mulitplication tables. My 8 year old's teacher has asked where to get it as well. Everytime we go somewhere they ask to hear it. Wonderful product!

The music is upbeat and tells a story. I think the kids enjoy this and the addition soundtrack more than any of the educational CD's they have. I wish more learning tapes were this creative!

The songs are catchy my 8 and 9 year olds like the songs but the multiplication parts in the songs are sometimes spaced out with lots of words in between. Very hard to actually memorize times tables...
