This program provides a fantastic multisensory resource for learning and reviewing multiplication facts. Clear visuals, fun songs, and plenty of repetition provides a positive learning experience.—Cynthia Grabke, Halifax Elementary School, MA from the School Library Journal
" I am a Math Coach at a Title One school in South Carolina. Over the past four years, we have seen our math students come from scoring the lowest of ten elementary schools to second from the top! Having recently received an award from the governor for closing the achievement gap in math (for historically underachieving students), we credit some of our strategies to your Multiplication Rap CD I purchased for some of our children.—Frieda B., Elementary School Math Coach
“The multiplication rap DVD was fun to watch. The children enjoyed the graphics, the music, and the rapping made it fun to learn. My children seemed to have better recall of their multiplication facts.” — reviewer, iParenting Media Awards, 2009
“The songs were fun and a great way to put the facts into memory. The delayed answers give children time to answer the question. The characters held the attention of the children for something that can be rote and boring. While this would be an added benefit to the classroom, often teachers do not have enough time in the day to add supplemental items to the curriculum; that is why it is a great idea to also promote this to parents to use at home.” — reviewer, iParenting Media Awards, 2009
There’s really not too much fun about learning multiplication. In my memories, learning how to multiply was a whole lot of writing and rewriting 2X1 = 2, 2X2=4, 2X3=6, with memorization. Nothing fun at all. The people at Rock ‘N Learn are definitely on to something with their Multiplication Rap DVD. Featuring a hip hop hamster, DJ Doc Roc, it includes songs and raps that make multiplication fun. Each set of facts has its own multiplication rap song! The DVD runs about 50 minutes, and includes an 11 minute segment entitled “What is Multiplication?” It provides an overview of what multiplication is really all about, and is actually interesting to listen to.—Jodi MomsFavoriteStuff.com
If your children love rap, this is a great way for them to learn multiplication tables. The hip hop beat keeps kids rapping with the animated rap characters until multiplication is easy and accurate. Thirteen rap songs teach multiplication from zero through twelve, each fact being repeated twice. The second time through, the answer is delayed, giving the student time to answer before the answer is given. The DVD also includes skip counting songs that use repetition to teach an alternative way of learning multiplication facts. The method of skip counting uses two bicycles wheels, three sides to a triangle, four wheels to a car, five fingers to a hand, and so on. Skip counting repeats several times, increasing the speed each time through the series. The back of the DVD says “Millions of students have learned their multiplication facts through 12 with this program.“ I'm sure they have.—Kate O'Mara Eclectic Homeschool Online

“Catchy memorable lyrics and a fun upbeat attitude, make this audio tape something that is ideal for helping kids overcome learning blocks. Music is one of the best ways we know to help with the retention of essential material like teaching the times table. The rhyming techniques of rap music lends itself well here. Our testers agreed that while learning multiplication may not be their idea of fun, it sure helped to have this tape to make it go down easier.” –National Parenting Center Seal of Approval
“A bestseller that's fun and unique. Features positive lyrics to encourage and motivate learning.” –Learning Magazine, Teachers’ Choice Award
“Positive lyrics extol the virtues of staying in school, hard work at studies, and self-esteem while teaching listeners the multiplication tables from 0 to 12. The narrators are clear and precise and explain the key concepts in an understandable manner. The booklet offers additional activities. A lot of fun, as well as meaningful learning.” –Booklist
These are audio CDs with a difference: original rap tunes with attention-grabbing lyrics which teach kids. Multiplication Rap includes activity pages of games and puzzles to accompany a “top 40” set of rap sounds, with the multiplication table broken into different rhymes and songs for each times table. –Children’s Bookwatch
“Multiplication can be fun for children when they learn while catching the performance of D.J. Doc Rock and the Get Smart crew. The lyrics encourage good study habits and motivate students.” –Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Audio/Vide
One of my students brought in the Multiplication Rap DVD to share. We enjoyed it for a week, and I saw the power of both seeing and hearing the facts. So, I'm ordering lots for my 3rd and 4th graders. The Spanish is largely for my own child, but the class saw the ad for it at the end of the DVD and got excited, so I'll use it as a reward for work completion. –Carolyn M.
“The non-juvenile sound of Multiplication Rap appeals to first-time learners because it is cool and fun. In our school, the older students who are at-risk or who have remedial needs love rapping along to the coolest sounding multiplication program we’ve found anywhere!” Charlotte Harris, 3rd grade teacher
“When it’s essential to build speed and accuracy for performing multiplication facts through 12, we recommend your multiplication songs to parents. This is the one that our students enjoy the most.” Lee Ferrell, teacher
“Rock ’N Learn Multiplication Rap audio CD and book is the number one selling item in my teacher supply store.” –Store Owner, Chicago, quoted at trade show
“I have a dyslexic son who is also a champion swimmer. He turned 9 in June, and we're channeling the same mentality we used to achieve in swim towards academics, and started today with the Multiplication Rap CD. What an incredible resource! Congratulations on such a productive and innovative idea.” –Judith S.
“The most positive characteristic of this product is that the DVD is a fun, and entertaining way for children to learn their multiplication facts. The characters are fun, and the dancing, singing, and energetic music make this a very entertaining DVD. There is a segment with the familiar Marko the Pencil, which explains what multiplication is. The graphics and animation are excellent, as is the audio quality. The intro is relatively short and jumps right into the multiplication exercises. Each exercise has a different look and song, making the content less repetitive than it could be. The company has done a great job in making a learning DVD entertaining and educational.” —reviewer, iParenting Media Awards, 2009
