Reviews:

1. "This program provides a fantastic multisensory resource for learning and reviewing multiplication facts. Clear visuals, fun songs, and plenty of repetition provides a positive learning experience." —Cynthia Grabke, Halifax Elementary School, MA from the School Library Journal

2. " I am a Math Coach at a Title One school in South Carolina. Over the past four years, we have seen our math students come from scoring the lowest of ten elementary schools to second from the top! Having recently received an award from the governor for closing the achievement gap in math (for historically underachieving students), we credit some of our strategies to your Multiplication Rap CD I purchased for some of our children.—Frieda B., Elementary School Math Coach

3. “The multiplication rap DVD was fun to watch. The children enjoyed the graphics, the music, and the rapping made it fun to learn. My children seemed to have better recall of their multiplication facts.” — reviewer, iParenting Media Awards, 2009

4. “The songs were fun and a great way to put the facts into memory. The delayed answers give children time to answer the question. The characters held the attention of the children for something that can be rote and boring. While this would be an added benefit to the classroom, often teachers do not have enough time in the day to add supplemental items to the curriculum; that is why it is a great idea to also promote this to parents to use at home.” — reviewer, iParenting Media Awards, 2009
