Multiplication Games — Mixed Facts From Every Table
Learning times tables one at a time works well right up until the moment they are mixed together. A child who can recite the seven times table front to back will still stall on 7 × 8 when it arrives out of order between a 3 × 4 and an 11 × 6. Recall in sequence and recall at random are genuinely different skills, and only the second one is useful.
This game drills the second one. Twelve questions a round, every one a multiplication, operands drawn at random from 1 to 12, and no two questions the same within a round. There is no ordering to lean on and no pattern to spot, which is exactly the point: the only way through is to know the fact.
Four answer options appear under each question, and the three wrong ones are built from real mistakes rather than random numbers. A near-miss on the table, the result of adding instead of multiplying, and off-by-one errors are all in there. That forces an actual decision. Randomly generated wrong answers can be dismissed at a glance, which turns a drill into a spotting exercise and teaches nothing.
The round is timed and the timer runs independently of your score. Accuracy comes first and usually plateaus within a few sessions; speed is where the long improvement is, and it is the honest measure of whether a fact has been memorised or is being worked out each time. Someone computing 8 × 7 by doubling 8 four times will get it right and take four seconds. The timer catches that; the score does not.
If you want to work on one table at a time rather than the whole mixed set, the times tables game lets you pick a single table from 2 to 12 and drills only that one. Both are free, both run entirely in your browser with no account or download, and neither sends anything anywhere.
