Fun app to help with times tables?

[Fridayschild]

DCs not bad at maths by any measure but will find it much easier if they just know their times tables - aged 12 and 10. I reckon we could manage 5 minutes on an app. Anyone got any recommendations?

I just used to give dd one sum each morning and ask her it 4 or 5 times through the day.

Would they consider the Numberjacks too childish? There's a Numberjacks app (Android) which has very visual segments, while others are pure flash-up-the-numbers-and-make-'em-answer.

My ten year olds willingly play Squeebles to practise quick recall of multiplication and division facts.

It's not an app, but if you google hit the button, you will get a game that is fab for learning times tables/division facts. You can play it on a phone or tablet.

Math bingo is charming and effective

Hahaha, I've got a Kumon ad on the right of my screen, which no-one has endorsed yet! Not even the child - whose face forms the O of KUMON- seems thrilled....

there's Times Table Clock, only for iphone/ipad though, not android, good for division as well.

We love hit the button. Website though... I don't think there's an app..

You could make your own by printing some blank 12x12 tables and write the numbers randomly along the outside of top and left hand sides. Dc then have to complete them and see how quickly they can do it.

That has helped massively for my dc who are 11 and 8 and they like doing them.

My daughter plays bubble pop maths, squeeble and some raiders of the lost ark type game where she has to answer rapid fire questions to stop being caught by monkeys.

Steve Storm and the tables of Doom!

Great ideas, thank you all so much

Hi does anyone know what the squeebles spelling app is like (for a 10 yr old)
