Multiplication Facts Practice for PC

The memorization of multiplication facts is extremely important. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics states: "Even with calculators readily available and excellent for many situations, memorization of the multiplication tables actually remains an extremely important tool. In order to understand division, fractions, and ratios and be able to spot many patterns, your child must recognize the numbers in the multiplication tables."

This app allows students to quickly and easily memorize their multiplication facts. It also lets students, parents, and teachers keep track of which facts have been mastered and which ones need more practice.

As students answer questions, the system automatically records which facts were answered correctly but not quickly (yellow), which were answered incorrectly (red), and which were answered correctly quickly enough that they demonstrated mastery with automaticity (green). That is the real goal: to master facts with automaticity which is where students demonstrate that they instantly know the answers without needing to think about them. The goal of this game is to make every box in the multiplication table green which means you have mastered every multiplication fact.
