These games made it all click for her. It is math without frustration and tears. She no longer thinks she is stupid because no matter what we tried it didn't make things stick in her memory. So thankful for these games.” ~Homeschooling mom of 2 creative girls Dana B’s twins have thrived with this book: “This books has helped my twins with multiplication more than anything else. They both have dyslexia and are very creative and artistic, but struggle greatly in recalling facts. While they haven't liked filling in the multiplication table every time, they can now see the benefit of doing it after 3 weeks. They have only done it 3 times per week, and it's getting cemented in their brains. In the beginning, I would fill in all the multiples of 3, for example, and they would fill in the rest. I also allowed them to use a multiplication table for reference. Now, one doesn't need to refer to it at all and the other is looking at it less as he fills out the table. The games and activities on the pages following each multiplication table are what they really like completing. We are definitely going to get some of the other Thinking Tree journals.”(July 8, 2015)ISBN-10: 1514895161ISBN-13: 978-1514895160 Thinking Tree Books Ages 10+ Revised in 2018 to include new activities and illustrations!
