MULTIBANDZ MAKE LEARNING MATH FUN: Wristbands help kids learn multiplication tables

Dec. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Kids love wristbands, and many kids dread learning their times tables. As parents, friends, and family members search for educational holiday gifts that are truly fun and useful, Handband, makers of the Mediband range of customized silicone medical wristbands that communicate vital information about medical conditions or allergies, have introduced Multibandz.

Multibandz are a set of twelve thin, multicolored silicone wrist bands, each printed with a multiplication table. Multibandz are designed to encourage children to learn by giving them tangible milestone rewards—namely, a new band for each table learned.

Children can start with the 1 multiplication table band and then move onto the next wristband, working up the times table chart. They can swap the bands with friends and test each other’s knowledge. There’s now no need to have times table posters on the bedroom or bathroom wall because the Multibandz learning is always there—hanging around their wrists—so learning is subtly and regularly reinforced.

“Multibandz can help children start off with a strong foundation in multiplication which, along with skills in addition and subtraction, are essential.” commented Michael Randall, Co-founder of Handband. “Multibandz are not just a wonderful learning aid for parents, they’re also are a great way for schools to introduce multiplication into the classroom and into the curriculum.”

Multibandz are available online at www.Multibandz.com, and cost only $11.80 per set, with volume discounts available.
