Googol Power

Hardly a child on the planet would equate the memorization of basic addition and multiplication facts with "fun" -- until now. With engaging story lines, catchy tunes, voices full of character, and high-quality production values, Googol Learning’s two CDs, “Addition Celebration” and "Multiplication Vacation," turn addition aversion and times-table tedium into a sing-along pleasure. Kids -- including those of the adult variety -- will find themselves saying such things as, “Quickly adding 9 to a number is soooooooooooo easy now,” or "Wow, the sevens sure were fun. I wonder what they'll do for the eights.'" Personally, I wonder what Googol Learning will do next. Probably another mathematical marvel.” - David Schwartz, author of the online “Math Moments” column and many best-selling math picture books

Over the years we have listened to more than our share of musical CD's aimed at teaching children everything from the alphabet to algebra. In some cases they hit their mark while others, well.... What it takes to "connect" with young listeners is a good script, strong production values and most importantly, good music. This CD boasts an abundance of all three values. Parent testers told us that CD's of this nature are best for car trips and we heartily agree, there is something about being strapped snugly into a chair that makes educational music much more appealing. - National Parenting Center

The fun continues on this soon-to-be kids classic. "Addition Celebration" helps youngsters out with their addition and makes it fun with dialogue tracks featuring those wacky space critters called the Googols (not to be confused with the search engine powerhouse!) and their crazed adventures. - J. Sin Smothernet

Finally! A math-facts CD that doesn't drive me nuts! Googol Power's Multiplication Vacation is full of catchy tunes to help your children learn skip counting and multiplication facts. While they are learning those math facts, they take trips to exotic places like Ancient Egypt, Australia, and the solar system, meet famous people like Leonardo DaVinci, or learn about famous art.
My children ran off with Multiplication Vacation as soon as they saw it. It was on while I was washing dishes and honestly, I enjoyed it! I love that the artists used different styles of music based on different types of rock music. The music makes you want to move your feet and dance around with your children. - Dawn King, Product Reviewer, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

Throw away your flash cards! You won't need to "drill and kill" math facts ever again. The Googol Power Math Series has revolutionized rote memorization of arithmetic facts forever by setting addition facts and multiplication tables to upbeat tunes to make memorization a snap - while providing interesting facts about history and social studies that boost kids' knowledge of the world! For example, while memorizing the 7 times table to finger-snappin' doo-wap music, you will learn about the 7 Natural Wonders of the world. Other topics include Animals of Africa, Ancient Egypt, the Ecological System of Antarctica, the Solar System, Australia's Outback and even Leonardo Da Vinci! Addition Celebration and Multiplication Vacation are the CD soundtracks to the companion DVD! Use them individually or altogether - a great way to address multiple learning styles at home and on the road. There's more! The website at www.GoogolPower.com offers free, printable worksheets and activity pages that complement the DVD and CD math lessons.

An Excellent tool for mixing entertainment & learning
Googol Power Multiplication Vacation is a perfect name for this great piece of educational work! By combining many facets of education, into one fun to listen to audio cd, Googol Power allows a child to learn much, by doing little more than listening and memorizing from repetition.

Not only will you find your child catching the beat and singing along, you will find them captivated when they listen to the storyline as well. This enchanting cd offers a "vacation" style of education, because it allows a child to enjoy learning to a new format. They can learn at home or in the car, and will forget that they are being educated, because they are just having fun!

The multiple original songs are upbeat, catchy, and such a treat to enjoy. The story line is inviting, and brings the listener into the scene, by using great detail within the fun and folly characters that are featured.

This CD has won numerous awards, and we can see why! We look forward to many more additions to this series, and know you and your child will await the new ones as well, as soon as you have heard this one!

If you have a child who struggles with multiplication, or one who is just beginning in the subject, this would be a great way to get the basics into their mind and memory. This is so much more fun than memorizing charts. Now they can memorize it without the work involved, using normal methods. Once they have these basics memorized, the rest will be a snap and fall into place. This covers 1-13, the numbers that are needed to begin easy multiplication.

Another nice feature to this cd, is the fact that they combine other subjects of learning in with the mathematics, to make it more amusing and to add more education to their work. This allows a child to learn about their world, the world of space, as well as art, history, and music.

This one comes highly recommended and has been loved by all of us! I even caught my little guy, who is in preschool, singing along with the tunes once they had been played several times. I am positive this will help him as he progresses in his world of learning, as he keeps this in his mind and is able to recall it when he needs it. - Family Review Center

"Who knew that learning could be so much fun! This educational, layered learning approach engages with math and incorporates a myriad of other subjects along the way in an inspired teaching approach. Googol's of fun for everyone!" - John Wood, Kidzmusic.com.
