For years I've subjected my classes to a CD I bought from Early Learning - it's 'funky' enough to dance to (which can help with remembering the facts if that's your thing). I can't remember what it's called but do know that the cover is blue...

We've got the Carol Vorderman one, don't worry she isn't on the CD. My DC like the workbook and stars that come with it. CD a little annoying but that's because its so repetitive, seems to work.

I have used an 11+ website called visuteach.com for my DS.
They have some free times table tests. They are not as much fun as games, but are still worth checking out

Tutpup worked wonders for my DS.

If you have an iphone or itouch my daughter learnt her 6 times tables in about a day (10 mins at either end) using an app from the app store. I was quite impressed as we'd spent over 3 weeks trying to get her four times tables to sink in. I think searching for Squeebles Times Tables should bring it up (the squeebles bit is some funny little characters that they collect for answering questions correctly - my dd loves them). Not much good if you don't have an iphone/touch though!

There are several good apps in the app Store - if you just search for times tables, you will get about a dozen, though many of them are just speeded questions. But they are often free or under a pound, so it's easy enough to experiment. Times Table Clock is another times table App - a game to teach rather then just test them; you can get it for free using the download codes listed in the promotional codes/money forum. Again only suitable for people who have iphone/touch though!
