My daughter hates math, but loves music. She came up with the idea after seeing Songsmith to use it for creating a song to help her memorize the multiplication tables. Here's her first one, for the "fours"... http://cid-1ca9b5d21a40d321.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Rebekah%204s.mp3

Awesome idea! Sounds like she is on her way to becoming a singing math teacher. Smile

How old is your daughter? She sounds like she is around 10, and if she does not know her multiplication tables, there are certainly more pressing issues that need to be addressed. Nonetheless, great song. It is definitely going on my iPod.
