About Times Tables Trainer
The Times Tables Trainer is a multiplication practice tool for the tables from 1 to 20. Pick any combination of tables or a preset such as 1–10, 1–12, 2–9 or 11–20, and set the range of the other factor anywhere from 0 to 20. Questions can be multiplication, division or a mix of both, asked in random order or in sequence, and the missing number option turns facts around into problems like 7 × ? = 56.
Practice with a set number of questions, keep going endlessly, or race the clock in a timed challenge from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Wrong answers return a few questions later until they are right, and automatic checking moves on as soon as the typed answer is correct. After each round you see first-try accuracy, average answer time, best streak and answers per minute, plus a grid of the facts you practiced so weak spots stand out.
Children learning their multiplication tables at school, parents helping with homework and adults refreshing their math facts can all use the times tables trainer on a computer, tablet or phone. A chart of the selected tables can be printed before you start.
Frequently asked questions
How does the repetition of mistakes work?
A wrong answer is put back into the round and returns after two to four other questions, until you answer it correctly. At the end you can start a round with only the facts you missed.
Can I print the times tables?
Yes. Before you start, the chart of the selected tables can be printed, and the Math Worksheet Generator makes printable practice sheets with an answer key.
Does it work on tablets?
Yes. On touch screens an on-screen number pad appears, and you can switch it on or off on any device.
What is a good way to learn the times tables?
Short, frequent sessions tend to work better than long ones. Start with the easier tables such as 2, 5 and 10, use known facts to work out new ones, like 6 × 7 as 5 × 7 + 7, and repeat the facts you get wrong. Because 3 × 8 equals 8 × 3, every fact you learn covers two questions.
Why practice division along with multiplication?
Division facts are multiplication facts read backwards: knowing 6 × 8 = 48 means knowing 48 ÷ 6 = 8. Practicing both directions, and missing-factor questions like 6 × ? = 48, builds the flexible recall needed later for fractions and long division.
