With the 2016-2017 school year looming, my 11 year old has been hearing me say one of her least favorite words…….MATH!  It’s been her least favorite subject for years and she has struggled to learn/memorize her basic math facts, which I know would make things easier as the level of difficulty progresses.  We belong to a large local homeschool group and I kept hearing families mentioning a great program and DVD that had helped their children so I decided it was time to check it out.

Sending a big thank you to Trigger Memory for sending us their Times Tales Math Bundle Deluxe for review!

The Times Tales Math Bundle Deluxe offers an automatic free upgrade to priority shipping and contains a variety of their popular and tried and true products including:

• Times Tales (choice of DVD, Digital Download, or Print Version)
  
• Memory Triggers- The Fun Way to Learn Elementary Math Facts
  
• Addition and Subtraction-Beyond Math Facts
• Grocery Cart Math
  
• Two Plus Two is Not Five
• Times Tales Spiral Bound Mini Flipbook
  

Retail price of each item in the bundle comes to $90.25 but purchasing this special bundle saves over $20 as it’s priced at just $69.80!

I started the four older kids, ages 4, almost 6, 9, and 11 by watching lesson one on the DVD. Then, since I’m really focusing on building the older two kids’ skills first, I moved right into the Addition and Subtraction Beyond Math Facts Workbook to keep them thinking.

(The Times Tales actually comes with two discs, the “movie DVD” and a second disc that offers printables such as flashcards, written tests, games, and crossroad puzzles!  I just hadn’t printed anything out the first time I had them view lesson 1.)

The additional resources available with this bundle offers great tips, tricks and practice to really help kids build their math skills.  Our kids especially have been enjoying the worksheets.  (Although it’s probably because they’ve only gotten through the easier ones so far!)

During the video, our kids seemed to be paying close attention.  They watched the entire first lesson with barely a word spoken except when I was quizzing them on the math facts.  However, once the lesson ended and we turned the DVD off to move on to a worksheet, they did say that the movie needed some more “action”.  Although, they are willing to continue watching it and work with the Trigger Memory and Times Tales program to help them learn since it’s much better than our previous method!

Final Thoughts:  I’m really excited about what we’ve utilized so far with this program and I can’t wait to see the kid’s progress as time goes.  I have high hopes that this is just the thing our family needed.  Math can be a tough subject and learning facts offers a great base.  So if you’re looking for something to help your kiddos in this area, be sure to check out the Times Tales program to see if it would be a good fit for your family.
