I have never been a big fan of flash cards, but I know memorization of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is so important for a strong foundation in Math. If children struggle with basic math facts, they are going to struggle with Math throughout their education. Math Facts Now is an easy way to help your child memorize or reinforce their basic Math Facts. My children enjoy typing on the computer much more than writing in a workbook so there was no complaining involved when they were asked to use this program. The program is very simple and easy to download and use. The set-up is easy for parents and the children can get right to work without any help from the parent. In only minutes a day, your child can begin either learning or increasing their efficiency and speed in working through their Math facts. Parents can view and print a detailed report showing exactly how your child did on their lesson and the average amount of time it took them to complete each problem. A great feature is the ability of the program to "remember" the problems your child gets wrong and retests them on those more often than others. This program is a definite keeper for my family to do "brush up" work on our basic Math facts.
