REVIEW
Wow, that was interesting!! My ds is almost 13 so the story line seemed "lame" to him, but i kept encouraging him to have an open mind and look at it like he's reading a story to his sister. (after a while of his protesting about how childish it was and awwwww comeone moms) and he got past the youngish story, he was amaized about how well he retained the information to the story problems.
after it was done i retested his upper times tables and he got all answers right at a better speed than his pretest. He felt weird at first admitting that when those problems came up that the first thing that popped into his mind were the images from the story and then the story popped into his mind and the answer was obvious to him.
IT DOES WORK!!
NOW he has admited it worked for him and wants to do the division one and won't protest the story line lol, so that ought to take a lot shorter. I didn't keep track of how long it took us just because we had distractions, along with the
"how stupid" protests, but I'd say it's very possible to learn this in an hour or less.
He did say that he wished he had this available when he was learning times tables and back then he more than likely wouldn't have thought it was lame.
I'm keeping this around for my other 2 for sure
