Times tables practice

Tap the tables, type the answer, done. The trainer asks questions with no time pressure, tells you straight away whether you are right, and keeps bringing back facts that are not secure yet until they have been answered correctly three times.

How it is calculated

How the times tables trainer works

  1. Pick the tables: tap the numbers you want to practise, for example just 3 and 4. “All tables” covers 1 to 10, “Tables 11–20” the bigger ones.
  2. Practise: a question appears in large type, such as 7 × 8 = ?. Enter the answer on the number pad or keyboard and press OK (or Enter).
  3. Feedback: a correct answer moves straight on. A wrong one shows the right answer, and the next question only comes when you press “Next” – so there is time to read it.
  4. Quiz: 10, 20 or 30 questions with no marking along the way, then a score, a percentage and a list of mistakes.
  5. Chart: the chosen tables as a multiplication chart to look things up.

Tables 1–10 and beyond

The basic times tables are all products of two numbers from 1 to 10, from 1 × 1 = 1 up to 10 × 10 = 100. Many classes go further, up to 12 × 12 or even 20. Here the larger tables are practised as the 11 to 20 times tables, each multiplied by 1 to 10 – for example 13 × 1 = 13 up to 13 × 10 = 130.

Worked example

Question 7 × 8: 7 × 8 means 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8. A quicker route uses facts you already know: 5 × 8 = 40 and 2 × 8 = 16, so 40 + 16 = 56. The matching division fact is the inverse: 56 ÷ 8 = 7, because 7 × 8 = 56. Switch on “Division” to mix these inverse facts in.

Mistakes come back more often

When a question is answered wrongly, the trainer remembers it and asks it much more often than the others until it has been answered correctly three times. A new mistake resets the count to three. The same question never comes twice in a row, so the answer can’t simply be copied. Mistakes from a quiz are added to this practice list too – “Practise mistakes” takes you straight there.

No time pressure

There is no clock and no time limit, not even in the quiz – the child sets the pace. Questions are shuffled with the browser’s random number generator, and the order of the factors changes too: sometimes 7 × 8, sometimes 8 × 7.

Storage and privacy

The chosen tables and progress are kept in this browser’s localStorage under the key einmaleins-v1. There is no account and nothing is sent to a server. “Clear progress” resets everything.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way for my child to learn the times tables?

A few minutes every day works better than one long session. Start with a few tables (2, 5 and 10 are easiest), then add more. The trainer automatically repeats the facts that are not secure yet.

Is there a time limit?

No. There is no clock in practice mode or in the quiz, so there is no pressure and slow, careful answers count just as much.

Why does the same question keep coming back?

Because it was answered wrongly before. It appears more often until it has been answered correctly three times, then it comes up as often as all the others.

Can I practise division facts too?

Yes. Switch on “Division” to get the inverse facts such as 56 ÷ 8 = 7, on their own or mixed with multiplication.

Can I practise tables beyond 10?

Yes. Tick “Tables up to 20” or press “Tables 11–20”. Each table is practised from × 1 to × 10.

Is progress saved?

Yes, in the browser on this device, so you can carry on after reloading the page. Nothing is uploaded; in private mode the browser deletes the data when the window closes.
