Times tables
Tables from 2 to 9, learned in the right order: each table builds on the previous ones.
🗺️ ① The treasure map
Each island hides the secret of a times table. Discover it, practise by playing, then take the challenge to conquer the island. Islands open one after another.
🎯 ② Today's mission
The tables of your conquered islands come back a little every day, at just the right moment, so you never forget them.
Today's mission: a dozen questions, about 5 minutes.
Without child mode you can try it, but your progress is not saved.
🔢 ③ My treasure grid
🦸 ④ My superpower cards
One card for each conquered island.
Step 1
× 2: doubling
Multiplying by 2 means adding the number to itself.
4 × 2 is double 4: 4 + 4 = 8.
Step 2
× 5: half of × 10
Work out × 10, then halve it. The answers always end in 0 or 5.
4 × 10 = 40, and half of 40 is 20.
Step 3
× 4: double the double
Double once, then double again.
6 × 2 = 12, and double 12 is 24.
Step 4
× 3: × 2 plus one more
The double, plus the number itself.
6 × 2 = 12, and 12 + 6 = 18.
Step 5
× 9: × 10 minus one
Work out × 10, then take the number away once. The two digits of the answer always add up to 9!
6 × 10 = 60, and 60 − 6 = 54.
Step 6
× 6: × 5 plus one more
Start from × 5 and add the number once.
7 × 5 = 35, and 35 + 7 = 42.
Step 7
× 8: double × 4
Work out × 4, then double: 3 doublings in a row.
7 × 4 = 28, and double 28 is 56.
Step 8
× 7: × 5 plus × 2
The last table! Almost all its answers are already known from the other tables: only 7 × 7 is really left to learn.
7 × 5 = 35, 7 × 2 = 14, and 35 + 14 = 49.
