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

These cards offer so much more than rote memorization. I've taught elementary-aged children for over 25 years, and these are the best multiplication cards I've ever used. The visual models will help build true understanding. The directions are easy to implement.

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.

I am grateful for the reviews for this because they’re right! This math activity/game has been a game changer for my preteen in memorizing his multiplication facts. The cards are great quality and size, the colors are perfect, very fun for kids and easy to understand to use. A valuable tool we’ll be using for many years in homeschooling. Worth the investment!

I love this system and it’s working really well for my daughter. My only complaint is that it doesn’t include 11s and 12s. We’ll have to learn those times tables another way.

Well designed cards for cognitive training and practice for children and adults

Very happy with this set of flashcards.we started using these according to the instructions, but i found that learning one number at a time is working better. He is able to master one and then move onto the others. He was getting frustrated when we were following the instructions. We started with all the 5 cards (because he already knows skip counting by 5s) this really helped multiplication with mastery .

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!

This is a marvelous system! Best I have found during the journey of teaching 3 kids multiplication tables.

Another review mentioned this being difficult to figure out - in under 5 minutes we were able to start, including unwrapping. I'm including some photos of the instructions - we haven't started playing the extra mini games yet, but we easily got started. I'm wondering if I should have a second set for a second child, but I think we can alternate as it's not cheap. Worth it though, I'm really happy with this. It makes keeping track of where the kids are at super easy and low pressure. Highly recommend! I'm using these for home school but then I'll use for my tutoring students also.

Good
