AWESOME!!!.......2007-03-14

I teach in an inner city school ..This CD raps, teaches strategies...sings the answer and then the 2nd time it sings the question and leaves students a wait time and a pause to give the answer. I love the stategies, different original songs. SUPER AWESOME for kids in the year 2007!!

Disappointed.......2007-03-08

This CD was so highly rated that I couldn't wait to receive it. When it came, I was extremely disappointed. My niece (of whom I have custody) is struggling with her math facts for school, a necessary promotion standard, and we really need help, but she hates the songs, and quite frankly, so do I. I thought they'd be fun and catchy, but they are cheesey and tedious. The "Hip-Hop" claim is quite questionable. . . . We also purchased Schoolhouse Rock, and it is by far a better investment. Unfortunately, when buying a cd online, it is almost impossible to preview the songs, and so my recommendation is to check out your local music store first to make sure that the music is a match for your child.

Easy on the Parent's Ear, Fun for the Kids.......2007-01-09

This product was recommended to me by a teacher who said it increased test scores for her class. My kids love to listen to this CD. It is now the preferred music selection in the car. The songs all have great rhythms and lyrics so the tape is easy to listen to over and over. We have been listening to this CD daily for three weeks and it is still fresh. Even I have a favorite - the five's song. The older Muliplication Rap tape by Twin Sisters should be retired because it is monotonous and boring. This tape is a hands down winner over any tape we tried!

Not as good as the division rap.......2006-03-20

I didn't like the multiplication rap as well as the division rap. I like that the division rap has a pause for the child to answer the problem before they just say it.

Great for ADHD .......2006-02-25

My ADHD 9 year old STRUGGLED with multiplication facts for 2 years. Nothing worked until I got this. Lyrics included helped tremendously and he learned all facts in less than a week. Great to lift the self-esteem for ADHD kids who have trouble focusing long enough to memorize facts. His Teacher was so impressed she bought 3 copies for her classroom!

tunes not very catchy.......2007-03-15

This CD is pretty good but far from great. These rap tunes are not very catchy .. the only song we can really remember is the one for the '3s'. Overall I think it has helped my daughter though.
One good thing is that every song goes over the multiplication table twice.
When I looked for a multiplication table CD, it looked like none of them was very good ... so this my be the best out there.

Hip Hop Flop.......2007-01-13

Uggggh. This CD is annoying, even to the 3rd graders in the crowd. The students actually moaned the second time they heard it. Save your money and avoid this one.

Multiplication CD.......2007-01-10

I've been searching for a CD with catchy songs. This one is OK. I've heard worse. It's not something I'd like to listen to over and over again.

Terrific!!!!.......2005-10-23

I have been a teacher for 15 years and teaching multiplication was always difficult until I discovered this CD. I played it and my students loved it. The music appealed to them and they did not feel as if they were "doing" math but were just singing along to the CD, and not only did they enjoy it but they learned the times tables! I can not imagine teaching multiplication again without using this CD for either reinforcement or enrichment.

play time of only 31 minutes and expensive.......2004-06-07

I bought the following CDs:

1. Multiplication unplugged, $11.99, 73 minutes play time
Out of these 3 CDs, this one is, by far, the best quality and value. 5 stars.

2. Multiplication Intelli-tunes by Ron Brown.
$14.99, 28 minutes - 2 stars

3. Multiplication Hip Hop $13.99, 31 minutes - 1.5 stars

Producer Calls on the Power of Music to Increase Math Scores

In just four years, producer David Printis has taught math, science and geography to over 35,000 children by invoking the power of music. Now, his company continues to educate with new CD's.

Fort Washington, MD - As our country rallies for higher math achievement scores by increasing teachers' pay and rewarding states for encouraging learning, one music producer has risen to the call to action by producing educational music CD's that kids, parents, and even teachers are raving about.Launched in October 2001, the series' first CD, "Multiplication Hip Hop," became an instant hit, and has since become one of the hottest selling independent music CD's on the East coast. Later titles in the series, "It's Elementary," "Science and Geography," and the newest one, "Addition and Subtraction" have met with equal success.

"Kids like the CD's," Printis remarks. "They don't even realize they're learning. They just think they're having fun listening to hip hop."

Not only has Printis won the praise of parents, teachers, and school principals, his company has received the interest of university faculties and national media such as The Washington Post and National Public Radio's "Morning Edition."

"Kids learn the alphabet by learning a song, they learn to count by putting it in a song. This is just another way of bringing it to life for kids," says Martin L. Johnson, professor of mathematics education at the University of Maryland at College Park.

Karen Kunkel, principal at Green Valley Elementary School in a suburb of Washington, D.C., uses "Multiplication Hip Hop" to teach her second graders. She has attributed the CD's with her school's significant improvement on the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills, a standardized test given to students in Maryland.
