Fun toy that helps child with multiplication

This has been amazing! It made learning and reviewing a fun game for my child!

Bought this for my 9yo nephew who is in 4th grade. He’s been struggling w/ the higher multiplication factors. This game has made it fun & easy for him to learn. I like that the fast facts don’t keep score but rather time (just like his school homework). He’s gettin* better at improving his time & correct answers. Fun, creative way to get him excited about math. We’ve been playing as a family to challenge one another & keep him engaged. We play every day. Anything that gets my nephew engaged with math on a daily basis is a win to me!

I purchased this item to help my kids practice their times tables. I have yet to have them use it, but I played a few of the games myself. I think the various options will help my kids learn the facts as well as better understand multiples and factors. The item I received has a volume control and a headphone jack. I haven't tested the jack, but the volume control turned the volume off completely and could be adjusted to be easily heard. I'm not sure how durable this game will be, but it has nice rubber feet for setting it on a hard surface. My son has fine motor delays and I like that the answer buttons are large enough that he can press them without having to use one finger. The "game" keeps track of how long it takes to complete all of the facts for the number chosen, so hopefully some friendly competition and trying to better one's own time will help motivate them to use it.

We just received this machine. He picked it up on his own. And yes, she does say, “you’re so stupid” he cracks up. He just turned 8. He knows he’s not stupid, but does need to MEMORIZE his multiplication facts. Seems schools don’t stress the tables need to be memorized which he’s tried to follow their methods and has struggled a bit. Now it’s my turn to teach him throughout the summer. I guarantee I’ll do a better job and ge will have them down by start of school. No number lines.. counting on fingers. That’s what’s stupid. Lol. But if you have a child like mine, which being called stupid in counting by numbers in the numbers game on this system, with a sense of humor and confidence in themselves, then thus might work for you. Any learning game he reaches for that’s not a video game, is a good thing. I’ll provide an update as to its effectiveness after he’s used awhile.

This has quickly become a favorite toy not only for the intended child (my soon to be third grader) but for his older sisters as well. Multiplication Slam is a light, hand held toy that requires 3 AA batteries (not included). There is a dial that allows you to control the volume. There are several different multiplication games you can play, including Skip It, Fast Facts, Factors, and Sequence. These are all age/grade level appropriate and some have varying levels of difficulty. My kids loved Skip It, as they all tried to race and beat each other's time, making it a fun challenge that all three kids enjoyed. Right and wrong answers chosen make a beep sound, only difference is if a wrong answer is chosen, the tone of the beep is a little lower. The display lights around the middle screen light up, but the rectangular middle screen does not. I would definitely recommend this to kids learning multiplication.

Cool way to learn multiplication however after a year it stopped working.

great for learning multiplication. they get immediate feedback to try over. can take it anywhere. it holds there attention.
