Multiplication by Heart Visual Flash Cards for Multiplication fact Mastery in Five Minutes a Day

At first this looks like a set of flash cards but it’s actually much more useful. The cards have visuals on them that introduce the learner to different ways of seeing what’s happening when you multiply two numbers. Learners work through the cards, starting with easier facts and moving on to more challenging ones. My 9 year old, who is great at maths but had always struggled to retain multiplication facts, worked through these cards independently over a few months. We’d tried loads of other ways of learning times tables but this was the one that finally stuck. Now there are other games and activities we can use them for (lots on the math for love website). The set seems kind of expensive but it’s worth the price because it’s not just flash cards, it’s a well thought out system for understanding multiplication as well as learning facts.

We’ve only had this set for about a week. It has been such a great addition to our homeschool routine. It is super well made. The cards are high quality. And it is obvious that there was a lot of thought and planning when this set was created. It is visually beautiful but also visually amazing for learning times tables. I’m going to buy a second set so each of my kids have their own box to master their tables. It’s totally worth the purchase.

When something is presented as a game, it should be fun or at least it should *try* to be fun. I don't know if we were doing this wrong or what, but I know that it didn't hold my kiddo's attention and we're donating it to her classroom instead. Then again, my youngest kiddo has ADHD and mild autism -- so maybe it's just not the right tool for her and that a neuro-typical student would have no issues. I think the cards were very sturdy and durable and for a skilled teacher or someone who is setting up 'stations' in a grade school classroom, these could be a real winner. At home though, it's a little less enticing.

Progresses from skip counting to seeing arrays to prime factorization. This can be used for years beyond simple memorization of multiplication facts. I suggest using a little binder clip or big paper clip to prevent the wheel from slipping to a new day if you’re tracking with the wheel they provide.

My kid actually uses to work on math facts. It's short and easy.

In general, I hate flashcards and avoid them entirely. I've only used flash cards before with multisensory (Orton-Gillingham) reading programs as a small part of the review. That said, these are amazing! My upper-elementary age child with dycalculia and dyslexia is just starting multiplication. She enjoys these, understands them, and is learning her multiplication tables in far less time than either of my other children did (and they're begging to go through these now, too, just to see how well they have things memorized). The visual aspect makes perfect sense to her. Ironically (or not), she easily "reads" the pictures and tells me the answer, and has a harder time reading the set of numbers at the bottom in the correct order, but understands them and their commutative properties perfectly, so I'm not worried about that!We've finished four days (I love the little spinner that tells which sets of cards to do each day), and she has the 1s, 2s, and 3s tables memorized, along with everything up to 5x5. I know it will get harder here on out, but it's amazing that she has had no trouble up to this point, and really understands how multiplication works!

We’ve tried everything to master multiplication facts this is totally working and we are only a couple of weeks in. It’s short and to the point. We never spend more than 5-10 minutes and I am already seeing fluency. You will want a set for each child because the cards store for a later date so only one child can use at a time.

I’ve been followed Dan and his team for awhile and I love this program multiplication mastery and review. This game has been revamped but the concept is still the same. The cards are excellent quality, color and easy to set up and okay. The grouping on the pictures help to reinforce that factoring is just group and they visually answer the facts faster. Highly recommend this for spiral review and mastery
