Why is TURN the Tables motivating?

TURN the Tables is motivating because students are successful from the beginning of the program through to the end of the program. Students are never confronted with multiplying problems with which they have not had prior practice. Each section (i.e. The 2s, The 3s) includes multi-digit problems to reinforce the facts which gives students added confidence and ability as they are slowly guided through the process of learning higher levels of multiplication to mastery. Every section includes two, three and four-digit numbers times the number being studied (i.e. The 2s). Students are not stifled by needing to take test after test to pass each set of facts and never having the opportunity to calculate multi-digit problems until they have mastered all of the facts. Students feel great accomplishment by calculating multi-digit problems as their peers who have been able to move on do after mastering the basic multiplication facts.
