Ellbee's Friends Powerfun! Basic Multiplication Facts
Product Description Children can discover U.S. and world cultures while they learn their basic multiplication facts throught 12 x 12 in only minutes per day. Ellbee the Lint Ball and his twelve friends, such as 'Carmelita the Flamenco Flamingo' or 'Gruffy the Rock Dog', say the facts to their own regional music, encourage children to respond and check their answers, and offer important math tips. Each set of facts corresponds to the CD track of that number. Every track has three segments: 1) Listen while the characters say their facts in order, 2) Practice saying the answers, noticing important math patterns and tips, and 3) Practice the facts again, this time out of order. The practice segments leave a pause before the character gives the answer so that the student(s) can call out the answer, then hear if they are correct. Two "facts mix-up" tracks at the end of the CD contain useful middle and end-of-program reviews. Review "...for kids who won't take to flash cards, the music and the character voices can be a big help." -- Sharon Bloyd-Peshkin, Chicago Parent Magazine, April 2002 "...pacing is appropriate for children learning new facts...Parents and teachers will welcome these additions to school and public libraries." -- Jean Hatfield, Booklist, May 1, 2002 "This CD helps children review the basic multiplication facts from 0 to 12 in a fun, lively setting." -- Teresa Bateman, School Library Journal, March 2002 About the Artist Deanna Kelly, MA in Math for Elementary School Teachers, artist, and teacher, and Julie Ponce, MA in Music and Communications, musician, performer and teacher, created and developed this new CD series.
