“Some of my students who have had trouble memorizing their multiplication and division facts have been lucky enough to work Tom Biesanz. He has devised a brilliantly simple and easy to use system he calls “EZ TIMES TABLE” to help the students learn their basic facts."

-Greg, 5th grade teacher


“I am excited about the EZ TIMES TABLES and its structured, concrete, and logical approach to multiplication and division. I taught my 22 Fourth graders how to build their own EZ TIMES TABLES and their comments reflected their discoveries as the inquiry process helped them see the relationships between numbers and facts. I also presented EZ TIMES TABLES at a faculty meeting and 6 teachers asked how they could teach EZ TIMES TABLES to their students.”
-Francis, 3rd grade teacher

“The EZ TIMES TABLE is a helpful tool for both remediated and excelled math students. Students are able to construct the entire multiplication table using this ingenious format. Number patterns are laid out for discovery. My students enjoyed the success of zipping through the process."

-Teresa, Third Grade Teacher

“Many of the teachers are talking about how the kids are learning with your system and we want to use it next year in our school. The kids seem to enjoy the system and they like discovering this “trick” system. It seems very helpful and useful."

-Laura, 2nd grade teacher

 

“The students love it! It makes so much sense. It’s great!”
-Jenny, 3rd grade teacher

"Mr. Biesanz's EZ Times Table book will be a valuable resource for parents
 to help their children master multiplication facts. I am purchasing a copy 
for the families at the school where I teach. Many kids who traditionally
 have trouble with multiplication will find that the connections and patterns
 revealed in this book help multiplication make sense in new ways. This 
method provides a way for kids to re-create the times tables when they
 are "stuck," and is also helpful for division and fractions." 

-Teresa, a Home Based School teacher

"Who would have thought that multiplication could be taught via tic-tac-toe! I've taught the threes and sevens using the tic-tac-toe strategy from Mr. Number's EZ Times Table book. I love having this video to use in the future! I've had remedial students create the threes and sevens while doing time tests. I love this guy!"
-response to MisterNumbers Sevens on the Magic Blackboard video

 

"If you want a teaching aide which is complete and economical that really works, Try EZ Times Tables for $17.95 you get the book and DVD. EZ Times Tables gave our child, in one lesson, the ability to construct and understand the times tables."
–Phyllis Hill

"LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT......I have a third grader and this is working like a charm. I, myself have learned the times tables better. I'm going to send this information to my daughters school. Thank you so very much."
-Tiffany Hart

"I wish we had this when I was learning early math concepts. I'm using your pentagons to help my son count by 2's, etc. Thank you!"

“Great video presentation Mr. Numbers, kids seem to learn and appreciate math a lot more when it's presented in an interesting fashion rather than just brute-forcing it down their throats.”
-David

"Thank you! No tears doing homework tonight! I have the hardest time trying to explain math to my child because she thinks so much differently than I do, and teachers just send home drill-and-practice worksheets that are pure torture for us. She totally got these patterns and had FUN doing it!"
- MrJrCookie has made a comment on Times Tables for 4 & 6 with Math Patterns for Multiplication:

"We watched several of the YouTube videos — my daughter kept wanting to click more of them! We especially enjoyed the ones that compared the patterns in two or more times tables, like:
* Times Tables for 3, 6, 9
* Threes & Sevens."
–Denise

"Sir, Wow! First of all i appreciate the genius ways u showed me to teach times tables to my five and half year old child. Sir they're really excellent. Thank you so much. Your efforts in this field made our job so simple and easy.
I am certainly going to tell about ur site to many of my friends and to as many people as I can.
Sir is there any simple way to teach even the 4 times table to my child. If yes can u please tell me that way as soon as possible. Regards---"
-smita.

"I have 4 kids and one on the way. My 11 year old and 10 year old immediately picked up on the patterns the way you showed it. However they are already familiar with multiplication.
My 8 year old/ second grader is not at all (at least before we watched the video)with multiplication.
After we did the video and easy times table, she is requesting to do it on a daily basis. "Can I do it again".-Aole Wilkins

"These videos are too good sir.......thank you very much....i have a 2.8 yr old kid when i used this method to teach him tables he catches really very fast...in a week he learnt 3's and 2's table.....thank you very much...".

“It was fun watching my boys get so excited not only about learning, but comprehending and retaining the math you were teaching. The amount of time that they were eager to sit still and learn math was amazing to me. I don't think I have ever seen either of them willing to spend that much time with any one subject.” -Lori, a parent of first grade twins

Math Teachers at convention rate Right Brain Math:
“Exceeds Expectations”

MisterNumbers (author Tom Biesanz) presented at the California Math Council (CMC) Convention Dec 6th in Monterey. CMC is the largest affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of Math (NCTM) in the country. Most teachers that attended rated the 90 minute workshop as “EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS” and are excited to teach Right Brain Math visual patterns and “big pictures” to students 2nd-12th grade.

Some of their comments were:

“Great way to break down the multiplication chart! I can’t wait to show my students!”

“Nice way of looking at patterns. You created visuals I hadn’t seen before.  Believe me, many H.S. students struggle with multiplication still.”

“So easy to understand. Good handouts. Good ideas for my struggling students. I will use these.”

“Awesome workshop. EZ Times Table is an excellent tool to teach students math.”

“Enjoyed the presentation. I feel that these concepts will be beneficial to me in helping my students (5/6) better learn multiplication facts.”

“Great Ideas. Very Useful. Have him back!”

 “I appreciate the connection to other math concepts, like factors.”

“Teaching HS, I see a lot of students who struggle w/multiplying. They still love visuals, puzzles & games though, so I’m anxious to show them your ideas!  Thank You!”

“WOW”

“I will use this with my low level 6th grade math.”

“Great Concept!”

“Excellent Workshop.  Great tool for teaching students their times tables. EZ Times Table Rocks!”

All handouts are included with the book, EZ Times Table. The hour-long video, Right Brain Math "Playing with Numbers" DVD, includes most of the instruction given at the CMC convention. Book and DVD are on products page for $17.95.

“It's infectious to see and feel the energy of a child discovering and learning and developing confidence so quickly--while having fun! revolutionary!”

“How I wish I'd had this as a child. I just had flash of memory: standing up in class having to recite the multiplication tables--fear, contraction, tension. It was such a huge effort to memorize.”

Youtube Feedback for 5 year old learns times tables
“Totally awesome.. Where was this when I was in school learning. Great help for my homeschoolers!” 
–mamafrazier32 (Youtube)

“I taught my 9 yr old your method (the Sevens), and it took me around 5 minutes do teach it.  It works. Thank you so much.”
(Youtube response)

“Amazing. Thank you for the video. I am currently doing this with my son in the 3rd grade. Good job.” –Ksnoop

“I really want to get this for my son, he is fascinated (as am I!). He is 10 years old and still struggling with the times tables. I showed him the 3 times table in the tic-tac-toe grid and he can now reel them off!” 
-Preeti

“Fascinating way to learn numbers. Wish he would have been my math teacher.”  -Felipe Francois

“Enthusiasm is more than half the battle. Well done!”        
–riddyzarzoff

“Kids love fun patterns. Fun patterns create lots of excitement. A huge benefit of EZ Times Table is that kids create a positive attitude toward math. Also learning to recognize patterns is important in all learning. Kids need to be able to count to Ten, know even and odd numbers and count by 5's to create the EZ Times Table. Kids create larger numbers here with patterns. It is fun learning!"
         -Andreya

“Thank you for shipping the order to our home. We are very excited about your program.
My husband has a Ph.D. in communicative disorders from Northwestern University.  He is very eager to go over the 'right brain' math with our daughter.  Our daughter is in 2nd grade with a visual IQ of 130. Her teacher introduced multiplication late last week. The teacher emailed us with a note that our daughter was not getting multiplication.  For my child to understand that it was a teaching problem and not her learning problem, I had her watch your MisterNumbers Videos on Youtube.  She immediately went to work to draw the 4x and 6x star.  She thought that was really cool!” 
-Kim

"Wonderful stuff! Math makes so much more sense for both of my daughters using your methods. We found you on YouTube a few years ago (through searching for multiplication aids) and purchased your book. Now my younger daughter is beginning multiplication and we've passed the book on to her. Just watched several of your videos with her tonight and it's helping already. Thanks so much for publishing these pattern-based methods!"
-abcwatson

"Tom has turned the times tables, which are traditionally difficult and
boring, into fun, beautiful and easy patterns. I actually enjoyed
myself as I did the times tables Tom's way. I wish I could have learned them in this manner the first time around. I'm glad my seven year old son will get to benefit from this wonderful discovery." -Patricia Selbert

"We fell in love with this program after coming across it on the internet - I think my husband ran across it on you tube actually.  Our boys actually sat down to practice the steps and had a blast." 
-Grace Irizarry, Realtor

"I did a Google search on right-brain learning and found a
book/DVD set on Right Brain Math, which is a subject my daughter struggles with. She's learning multiplication tables right now and it's torture for all of us! The previews and videos right there on the site have already helped her, since we looked at them before doing today's math homework. I also ran into the term "Edison Trait" used to describe kids like Karis.
Basically it refers to Thomas Edison and his educational history. He had ADD before anyone knew what it was and grew up feeling like a failure in school, but he was imaginative and inventive.
I'm starting to feel so much more empowered now...."
