If your child has problems with his or her multiplication facts, but enjoys video games and spending time on the computer, then you may want to consider trying Big Brainz’s Timez Attack. While playing a fast paced real video game children learn mastery of their multiplication facts in a quick drill style method. Try out the basic version for free. The full version offers extra cool worlds for the player to advance to. The only slight drawback is navigation of the game (using W,S and space bar keys to advance instead of arrows) while simultaneously using the mouse to look around. The game runs smoothly though and the animation is very good. Nothing gory or scary.
I discovered this a few months back–it is fantastic.
