We have used Timez Attack - good practice for learning multiplication tables.

I think I will put these links on index cards and have the girls use one daily for Sept.
I really think the key is practice, practice, practice.

I also think card games (Crib and more) are great practice AND I have a set of dice
with a bunch of real coins that the girls like to play. Roll 2 dice in turns. Times them together
and whoever is quickest (mom and kid) gets coins for that number. Every turn, trade in small
coins for bigger coins. (Once in a while, they get to keep the coins IF they beat me.)
