Using the times tables game
Practise recalling multiplication facts from the 2 to 12 times tables. Choose the tables you want to work on, then start with Practice to answer without a timer.
How to play
- Choose one table, or a few tables you want to mix. Read the multiplication and choose an answer.
- Use the 60-second speed test when you want timed practice. Its clock measures game time. Pauses and celebrations can extend the time spent on the page.
- MTC practice is a separate 25-question mode. It is practice on this site, not the statutory check.
- After a speed-test result with missed facts, the game offers an untimed retry of those different facts. Use it to revisit a fact you found difficult.
Work out a fact before trying to recall it
For 7 × 8, use a fact you know: 5 × 8 = 40 and 2 × 8 = 16. Add 40 + 16 to get 56. Then say the whole fact: 7 × 8 = 56.
Try 6 × 8 in the same way. Five eights are 40, so one more eight makes 48. You can also connect 48 ÷ 8 = 6 to that multiplication fact.
A mistake to look out for
Multiplication facts connect to division. Knowing 8 × 6 = 48 also helps with 48 ÷ 6. A speed-test score does not replace that explanation.
After a round
If a table is still hard to explain, return to the lesson for arrays and related facts. Speed can wait until the facts make sense.

Questions about this game
Should I start with the speed test?
Start with untimed Practice if you still need to work out a fact. Use a known fact, an array or equal groups, then try recall. A faster answer alone does not show that you can explain it.
Is MTC practice the real check?
No. This site offers a practice mode. It is not the statutory multiplication tables check, and a game result does not predict an official result.
Why retry missed facts?
A missed fact gives you something specific to revisit. Explain or work it out before trying it again. Try the fact in a different order or a related division calculation before another timed round.
Curriculum context
England’s Year 4 Maths programme includes multiplication and division facts up to 12 × 12. Use recall alongside explanations and related facts. Department for Education programme of study.
