Product Power now available for sale (January 26, 2009)
Product Power, a game developed and patented by Lynn Salvo, president and founder of MathTree, Inc., is now available for sale from Didax Educational Resources. Product Power is a game that works backwards - students start with the product and must figure out its factors - for a unique way to make learning multiplication facts fun. Product Power can be played at many levels of experience and skill with up to six players at a time. Using a deck of "product cards" and a deck of number cards 1-10, students make multiple connections and associations for multiplication facts. More than a simple card game, Product Power is classroom- tested and based on elementary number theory concepts such as odd, perfect square, prime, and divisibility.
