• “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

   

  “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

   

  "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

   

  “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

   

  “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.

   

  "This DVD is an entertaining way for children to learn their multiplication facts. The characters are fun, and the dancing, singing, and energetic music make this an effective 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

   

  "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/Video
