My third grade son loves playing board games. When he began learning multiplication in school he was having difficulty and this was an inexpensive way to have fun while practicing the subtraction facts. It has been a huge help and he has fun while he is learning rather than sitting at the table with pencil and paper all of the time.One thing I particularly like abouot this game is that if your child is having trouble with certain groups of facts (such as multiplying by 7's), you can be sure to call those cards each time to increase the repetition in which they must calculate those problems. One thing I don't like is that for some kids, or kids just beginning learning their multiplication, it is hard to calculate the problems in their head without writing it down and working it through on paper this can be easily solved though by giving them a scratch pad and pencil while they play.
