However, if your intent is for learning, this product is not for you. I thought it may help my third grader learn his times tables. It uses complicated wording and formulas.
I´m not sure at what grade level this would be useful. I say if you have a child ages 10 (maybe) and up who just love math, go for it.
Otherwise, leave it on the shelf.. And summed up by saying Very cute, not practical for learning.. Currently The Best Of Times has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Harry Briggs claimed The Best of Times gives kids an intuitive understanding of multiplication, encouraging them to arrive at answers on their own, rather than memorizing the times tables. A child who can multiply by two, for instance, can multiply by four, and even eight. Likewise, times six builds on times two and times three. With his common-sense approach, Greg Tang encourages kids to solve problems creatively, building both their skills and their confidence.
