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.
