Learn your Times Tables - starter app for iPhone and iPad

Knowing the ‘times tables by heart’ is ESSENTIAL to all successful mental and written arithmetic. Being able to work out 7x4 by adding up is not the same as recalling instantly that the answer is 28. This app sets out to help beginners memorise these multiplication facts for the x2, x3 and x4 tables in a fun way. A further app is available when you are ready for the remaining multiplication facts up to x10 and an extended edition includes the 11 and 12 times tables as well.

Each table is presented on two screens. The first screen is where you learn to complete the facts correctly from a pool of answers using drag-and-drop. You can choose to have the facts presented in order, or jumbled, or indeed you can answer them in reverse (‘if this is the answer, what is the question?’). The second screen gives you an endless sequence of random flashcards to answer in either ‘play’ or ‘test’ mode. In play mode, the app assists you to learn by repeating any questions with which you had difficulty earlier.

The test mode of the second screen is the challenge. Can you get your average time to answer each flashcard question down to 2 seconds or less?

The last screen of this app is one where you can either play or test yourself on the 2, 3 and 4 times tables together. In test mode, you are given a twenty question test in which all flashcard questions are picked at random. This app, together with its companion apps covering the other tables, is the ideal way of perfecting your knowledge of the times tables.

Look out for the companion apps "Multiplication Facts x2 to x10" and "Multiplication Facts x2 to x12".
