The program is called "Multiplication
Flashcards" and is a great tool for the homeschool parent to use
to help teach the child that is learning his/her multiplication
tables. The interface is simple and geared for the very young child.
The program can be controlled by using either a mouse or entirely by
the keyboard; making it fully accessible to children with physical
handicaps. Last year I sent the program out as an email attachment
to over 250 home school families that requested it after I posted it
on a homeschool discussion board.
