What’s It About?
On the home screen of MONTESSORI MATH: MULTIPLICATION, kids tap a multiplication symbol to begin learning. They can choose from any of the four instructional methods. The multiplication board teaches kids to build arrays and learn times tables up to 10 x 10; the stamp game and bead frame use place-value decomposition to help kids learn to regroup and carry when they multiply large numbers; and the magic slate offers kids the opportunity to multiply in columns, one digit at a time. When kids return to the home screen, they can access a Toolbox and a Playbox. In the Toolbox, kids can practice decomposing numbers and can use an interactive table to memorize their multiplication facts. In the Playbox, kids can apply what they've learned, as well as take on more challenging problems, by playing three games. In Missing Digits, kids have to find missing digits in multiplication problems; in Wiz Quiz, kids get timed, random multiplication problems to solve; and in the Bubble Game, kids drag the correct bubbles into place to complete problems. Kids earn points for all their hard work, and they can use the points in the Monster Lab to buy body parts and build a silly monster.
Is It Any Good?
Learning how to multiply can be downright monotonous, and understanding the process is often difficult for young learners. Luckily, Montessori Math: Multiplication gives kids several ways to learn, build, understand, and practice their multiplication skills. The step-by-step method helps kids learn different strategies for solving problems while building a strong foundation for understanding the process. Switching from one method to another also certainly keeps kids engaged in the learning experience. Earning points for the Monster Lab is a fun, unique way to motivate kids and encourage them to practice, practice, practice!

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
