How a practice session works

Your child picks a pet and sees one problem at a time, like 6 × 7. They type the answer. A right answer lifts the rocket a little higher, a wrong answer lets it sink. A game has two rounds of one minute, so a full session takes about two minutes.

There are no long lists and no lectures while kids play. That keeps the focus on the one thing that builds fluency: recalling the fact quickly, again and again.

The hard facts come back

Every child has a few facts that never seem to stick, often 6 × 8, 7 × 8 or 9 × 7. In the "Practice what I still find hard" mode, the facts your child misses come back more often and the ones they already know come back less. A missed fact returns after a few questions, while the answer is still fresh.

Choose the facts you want to practice

Practice all the tables, only the 6s to 9s, or pick your own set, for example just the 7s before a quiz. You can also start with a single table page, like the 2 times table, the 5 times table or the 9 times table, and then jump into the game from there.

Everything in the game is free, with no account and no ads.

Frequently asked questions

How many multiplication facts does my child need to learn?

The facts from 1 × 1 to 10 × 10 make 100 problems. Because 6 × 7 and 7 × 6 have the same answer, there are only 55 different pairs to remember. That is less than it sounds, and the easy ones (the 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s) usually come first.

How long should my child practice each day?

Short and regular usually works better than one long session. Two one-minute rounds a day is a good start, and kids can always play another game if they want to.

When are kids expected to know their multiplication facts?

In the Common Core State Standards, students are expected to know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of 3rd grade. Many schools begin in 2nd or 3rd grade, so check your own school for its pace.
