Race against the clock with your maths skills! Young learners excel in short bursts, so DK’s 10 Minutes a Day Times Tables app is the perfect introduction to maths for children. Times tables games take a short amount of time - maximum fun for maximum effect. 

With 10 Minutes a Day Times Tables you can practice your times tables through exciting car races, the faster you solve the questions the quicker your car will speed across the finish line. It’s also a fun ‘beat the clock test’ where you show off your maths skills by racing across the line before the time runs out. If you don’t get the answer right away you’ve got a chance to keep trying for the right one and if you don’t make it you’ll get handy hints and tips to help you next time. Play your way through the rounds, speeding your way from bronze through silver and all the way up to gold. Once you’ve mastered the regular times tables you can test yourself in mixed times tables races, whizzing your way through with your maths knowledge. 

DK’s 10 Minutes a Day Times Tables app is ideal for showing children how fun maths can be.

### 1/5 — dull and outdated

*2026-03-31, version 1.3.1*

i mean like it's ok, but there should be more variation to the time tables and more games to play, also the interface is outdated and hasn't been updated in 8 years according to the changelog

### 5/5 — It is great but

*2026-03-25, version 1.3.1*

It is great way to keep children doing there times tables but whenever you are close to the finish line the car you are racing speeds up a lot and then wins please fix it!😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

### 3/5 — Eh.

*2025-06-25, version 1.3.1*

### 4/5 — It is good

*2025-03-13, version 1.3.1*

I love this game, it reminds me of nitro type but instead of typing it is math. I like getting trophies 🏆 The only is that it doesn’t teach you much. You opponent is so slow u could definitely win. So I would suggest making the opponent faster pls but everything else is good 😊

### 1/5 — Car

The car goes to fast. The car beating you

### 5/5 — Great for the learning stage - switch to something else for drilling

App crashes have not been able to open and no updates

### 1/5 — Why does it do this?

*2024-05-06, version 1.3.1*

I just got the game and when I cross the line the car behind is far away from it and it says unlucky you didn’t win or something like that
