About Times Tables

Free times tables practice for kids — master multiplication from 1x to 12x with timed drills and progress tracking. Builds math fluency for ages 6-12. No ads, no sign-up.

How to use

1. Pick a mode in the sidebar: Practice (no timer, focus on accuracy) or Speed (60-second countdown for fluency drills). Practice fits Grade 2-3 introduction; Speed suits Grade 3-5 timed-test prep.
2. Pick an age band: Ages 6-7 (1× and 2× and 5× and 10×, the easy 'anchor' tables), Ages 7-8 (adds 3× and 4×), Ages 8-9 (full 1-9), or Ages 9+ (all 1-12 facts).
3. Tap the tables you want to practice (1 through 12) — pick one to focus drill, or tap several for a mixed set. Research from Schmidt & Bjork shows that interleaved tables build stronger long-term recall than blocked single-table practice.
4. Hit Start, then use the on-screen numpad to type each answer and tap Submit. Speed mode shows a green-to-red timer bar so kids can see urgency without checking a clock.
5. Watch the Mastery grid in the sidebar — every fact (e.g., 7 × 8) is color-coded: gray (new), yellow (learning), green (mastered). Mastery is earned by getting a fact right multiple times across sessions.
6. Save the hardest facts for the end. Sarah Schmidt's multiplication research shows 6×7, 7×8, 8×6, and 7×7 are the slowest to automatize — prioritize these once 1×, 2×, 5×, and 10× are solid.
7. Parent tip: 5 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week, beats one 30-minute weekend cram every time. Saxon Math's 'a little every day' principle plus the spacing effect (Cepeda et al. 2008) drive multiplication fluency by Grade 4.
