Professor Finkle's Times Table Factory Perfect for the musical learner, this software presents multiplication facts and the underlying concepts in a series of video lessons, games, and songs. Hosted by Professor Finkle, a talented actor who plays numerous roles in this software, the program presents six different games. This title offers a lot of humor and music as it teaches. It is a good choice for the hesitant learner and for those who learn best in a musical environment. This new software from Educational Insights offers 56 sequential lessons to learn multiplication and division.
Children work through the lessons by dragging answers from a list to the correct questions.
Its strength is that it has a two-player option so a child can learn by playing with another. Kids can drill for accuracy or time, and can compete against another player. Players can choose specific times tables to drill or let the computer mix it up. Jinny Gudmundsen is the Editor of Choosing Children's Software magazine.
