Wow. We may have made an impact already. DS came home with corrected work that he did in class today ... and it was multiplication! And multiplication past 12 x 12 so he got some of them wrong! (It's weird to think that it's great he's getting problems wrong, huh?) I think Timez Attack really honed in multiplication for him because when he ran into questions that he didn't know, it was adding groups together. For example 15 x 4 was solved by 15 + 15 + 15 + 15.

I am not sure if this is a lasting change, but I hope so. The teacher did this manually and whited out the "+" sign to be a "x" sign.
