Description

A modern multiplication primer that tackles the terrors of a typical school year. Learning math has never been this much fun!

Inspired by a Victorian math primer, Terrible Times Tables is a modern take on learning one's multiplication tables, from numbers 2 to 10, featuring elementary school themes of homeroom, field trips, cafeteria food, holidays, and recitals. Featuring a reluctant narrator and a few unwitting critters, learning math has never been so much fun or amusing.
