Review: Math Facts Computer Program

As a part of the Homeschool Crew, I reviewed Math Facts Now, a computer program for drilling basic math facts. As a homeschooling mom to a little one who is still learning his math facts, this program has been a life saver! I know we will get continued use of this product for years to come.

Math Facts Now is a no-frills computer program that focuses on memorization and retention of math facts in all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). I say Math Facts Now is a no-frills program because it has a very basic set-up, without all the distracting computer animations of other computer programs. Despite the simplicity of this program, my son did not complain about completing his drills, and I found the program very effective for him.

Also, Math Facts Now is completely customizable--you choose which operations to include, how many problems your student will complete at a time, and how long they have to complete each problem. Math Facts Now also remembers which problems your child gets wrong, and automatically drills those ones more often (I particularly liked this feature!).

Math Facts Now is ideal for children who are struggling with memorization of basic math facts. This program is user-friendly for both homeschooled children and regularly schooled children who just need a bit of extra work on their math facts. For only $15.95 you can download this program, or choose a CD-rom version for $15.95 plus a $3.95 shipping and handling fee. Math Facts Now runs on Windows 2000, ME, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. 45 MB of free hard drive space is required. Be sure to check out the free trial by clicking here.

Note: I was sent this product free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated in any way and all opinions are mine.
