Making Friends with Numbers

Making Friends with Numbers:
Let Learning Multiplication Facts teach you Math

Making Friends with Numbers is a collection of work-sheets that gradually combine the discovery of patterns and thinking strategies with playful ways of learning, practicing and reviewing multiplication facts.
They keep a student interested and challenged. These skills are also useful later when dealing with fractions. Making Friends with Numbers is intended for classroom use where multiplication facts are introduced, and later for re-view purposes. This workbook is also ideal for home use by parents helping children learn or review their facts in fun, challenging and varied ways.

Reviews on Amazon:

Written by parents, these reviews of Making Friends with Numbers all describe children of different ages and abilities taking pleasure in feeling themselves learn in creative and efficient ways. What could be boring and repetitive teaches multiplication facts and also math concepts and a love of math. The workbook is well worth the cost of a couple of cups of coffee at Starbucks. 


My thanks to those parents who took the trouble to write. 

“My 8-yo son absolutely LOVED it. He’d complain about all the rest of his school work, but he 

couldn’t wait to work in this each day. (In fact, I recently overhead him telling his younger sister 

that he wishes he could do it again!)” 

 

“My 10 year old son LOVES this book. It’s a great supplement to the math we do and it’s more 

“fun” than some of the other things.” 

 

“The best workbook ever created. Really helped my kids get away from skip counting. In only 

three weeks they have memorized multiplication facts and enjoy doing the sheets” 

 

“My daughter has processing issues. She has always struggled with math. She is 12. She recently 

finished Making Friends with Numbers and loved it. It worked very well for her.” 

 

“Teaches proficiency! It gave my son the proficiency to tackle much harder math later with 

ease.” 

 

“It works! Numbers can be friends! Truly allowed my child to play with numbers and become 

friends with them, rather (than) sworn enemies. Much is self-checking.” 

 

“This helped us sooo much! This book helped us when the songs and all the other tricks didn’t. 

We struggled with multiplication tables and this helped tremendously.” 

This book is very helpful. . .   In my son's case, the workbook solidifies connections that have already been made and presents new ways to understand the relationships. We have been homeschooling 4-6th grade so far . . . Very worthy of a 5 star review from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  A great tool for practice!

My daughter and I really enjoyed using this workbook this last school year. It has several creative ways to get to know numbers and their relationship. We will finish it this fall.

Excellent Resource for Learning Multiplication Through Games and Puzzles!

Although I purchased this book from another source, I still felt it was worthy of a five-star review on Amazon. My 8-yo son absolutely LOVED it. He'd complain about all the rest of his school work, but he couldn't wait to work in this each day. (In fact, I recently overhead him telling his younger sister that he wishes he could do it again!) We also used it along with the Life Of Fred elementary series. That combination prepared him for great success in the transition to Saxon 5/4 this past year.

O.A.
