Has anyone used this with their child? A friend of mine bought it for her dyslexic son who had a hard time memorizing and retaining his math facts.

I don't care for it because there is nothing mathematical about it and it can take a child only so far with mathematical calculations (not very).

My preference is for Math Facts the Fun Way and QuarterMile Math software. MFFW works for most dyslexics. My dd had enough of the facts that we could skip it and go directly to QMM. MFFW teaches math facts in a story format that most kids can recall. QMM provides the level of repetition necessary to get math facts to "stick".
