Description:

Whether you are trying to learn the times tables yourself or to help someone else, Barrington and the Math Princess will meet and surpass your needs. Entertaining while engaging her audience in a book that can not help but be actively read, Roxanne Eckenrode and her slightly devilish little math princess make multiplication facts both fun and unforgettable. Vivid images of bizarrely clever mnemonics infiltrate brains and reduce math anxiety, while readers play in the creative world of a math turtle and her student Barrington. Readers significantly improve their knowledge of multiplication facts, reinforce their operational and pictorial representations of multiplication, and even receive a small slyly delivered dose of addition fact assistance. Both the popular and entirely original techniques in the text have been successfully used with elementary, middle, high school-aged students, and adults. At last there is a mathematical adventure at this level, so students can learn times tables the fun way!
