• Can multiplication really be fun for kids? Of course it can. If you don't believe this, or even if you do, you should do your children a favor and spend two dollars on these cards.
  
  In the span of only a couple hours kids can learn the multiplication basics while having a little competitive fun at the same time. I took off one star because the multiplication only went up to 9 x 9, whereas the multiplication tables in schools go to 12 x 12. This is otherwise a very small complaint on a great product at an amazing price.
  
  A quick word about the cards they are the thickness of a traditional playing card, have approximately the same width, and are probably an inch or so longer. I mention this only because I did not see it in a product description or review.

• These are good quality. My daughter loves playing this game. I like school zone products. The only reason I give it 4 stars, instead of 5 - they did not include some of the 9's. I know that this makes for repeats, however, that is the whole point of the game - to have war! Since several 9's are omitted, we do not have war very often, and I would like the 9's cards for the learning of the 9's. But, again, my daughter loves playing it. If I were to buy again, I would go with Flash Kids, Flash Cards. I have their division war game and it includes all the numbers - we get to war often)
• This is a GREAT twist on flash cards. The amount of games you can play is only limited to the imagination and you are part of the fun with your child.
  
  One game we play is whoever answers it first gets to keep the card but adults have to look away for 1/2 a second.
  
  We also play kid versus grandparents over video messaging. Due to the lag in the video, the grandparents generally get crushed but are good sports about it.
  
  The box has lots of great games as well.
  
  Fun with a purpose!
• I use these cards to engage elementary school children (after school tutoring) in learning multiplication. I modified the game of war by allowing the child to "win" up to 2 cards per each play. The child 1st earns a card if he or she can determine the answers on my card and their card (I tell them to analyze the cards) and then if they have the winning card they get the 2nd card. If I have the highest card and they correctly determine the answers on each card, then I get a card and they get a card. If the child has a losing card and does not get the answers right on both cards, then I both cards. I put the cards aside that they missed and quiz them on it at the end of the game. The person with the most cards win (yes, it does favor the child -)
  
  If the kid is pretty good with their tables, then add speed to it (e.g. they have to blurt out the answers to both cards in 5 seconds). I will be doing a challenge tournament soon with the children.
  
  Also, great price on the cards. I saw other flash cards going for over $20 on .
• I don't recommend. Muliplication flash cards really need to be 0 -12 tables. And the answers need to be directly on the reverse side for easy quizzing. We ended up purchasing another brand with all tables and two adjustable rings to reshuffle and keep together for travel.
• This was a wonderful instrument in helping my grandaughter study her multiplication table while playing a game at the same time. Thank You. I do reccommend this game very much. The cards are nice size for whatever size hands your children have. Big numbers and cute fish on them. Makes it pleasant to learn.And the price is perfect!! This product arrived on time as they said they would !!!
• How many cards did you end up with? I got 21! Well, I got 23! Awwwww, let me play again please!!!
  
  So goes my conversations with my 3rd graders when we play multiplication wars. Everyone wants to beat the other players, we usually play four at a time, and then they keep track of how many cards they each get. We play each week and the goal is to be able to go through the deck the quickest, some do very well, better each week. Lots of learning, lots of fun.
• I play these with my 7 year old who is preparing to enter the 3rd grade. It's a simple game, these are basically like math flashcards without the answer on the back. Here's how we play it I initially picked out the lower-numbered cards and worked up to the harder ones. I deal us both 9 cards and then we count and flip them over. He has to calculate the problems on both cards and figure out who "wins." My son is autistic, and I'm using this to teach him multiplication rather than rote memorize.
