At Home With Jesus!

A bit of summer school

I decided that Julie needed some review on her multiplication tables,
(after asking her a question and getting that blank "uh-oh stare".)

So we downloaded the (FREE!) game Timez Attack....

...and soon EVERYONE was getting a math lesson!

(*Note - although Julie enjoyed the game, I want to warn others that it is rather 'creepy.'
It is set in a dark dungeon, and the main character is a lizard (I think?), and he battles giant ogres with multiplication facts on them.)

Wow! That looks like a great game, and FREE is my favorite price, LOL.

I love that everyone WANTS to play the multiplication game.

Thanks for the push, Michelle :o)
I was going to download this a long time ago, and had reservations about the monsters and such (why couldn't it have been knights and fair maidens, or something else??). Pragmatism won out, which is probably not a good thing, but my one kid who really struggles with her multiplication is no longer struggling today... I'm glad there are fun ways to learn this stuff.
