KS2 Times Tables

October 13, 2021

There's a new Unobtanium level for all you hard-working children who need something even more challenging than Kryptonite! It includes thousands and thousandths, and practising the 13, 14, 15 and 16 times tables! Good luck...! * Moved Unobtanium to be hidden above Kryptonite * * Also fixed a minor display issue on the feedback screen *

*New 2, 5 and 10 Level* There's a new level under Bronze, for those who need to practise their 2, 5 and 10 times tables from KS1. The question types are also slightly less varied, to gradually introduce the concept to those who are used to only standard times tables questions! *** This new level was suggested to me by a teacher who thought it would be useful for some students in her class. It is a great privilege to have fellow teachers help improve the app! If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them: contact me at http://ks2timestables.co.uk/contact.html :) *ClassKit bug* There are also a couple of tweaks to how ClassKit works, particularly to make the app work reliably on iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and 6s.

This is a massive update! Please take the time to check out all the new features: **New level for the Government "Multiplication Tables Check"** There's a new level, hidden below Bronze, called 'Year 4 Test', which mimics the Government's new "Multiplication Tables Check" test which Year 4 students can do from 2019/2020. Unlike other levels, you only get two and a half minutes to answer 25 questions (six seconds per question). And, just like the Government's test, you'll only be tested on the standard forward multiplication questions, and the probability of each times table appearing is the same as the Government's tests. **ClassKit and Schoolwork** Teachers can now use Apple's Schoolwork app to assign levels to a class and receive every student's scores, times and question types to work on. The teacher can set each student's level, and each student gets sent to that level, and answers the questions normally. When they mark their test as Done, the teacher gets to see how long you took, what your score is, and which types of question they can help you work on. **Big rewrite** The entire question-making algorithm has been rewritten from the ground up to support new award levels in future, and now it has: - Made questions with 0, 1 and 10 less likely to occur in some circumstances; - Made previously tested times tables less likely to occur in Gold, Platinum and Kryptonite; - There was a remote possibility in Gold for a question to have more than one possible answer. This is now impossible! - Opened up a few other exciting possibilities which will remain secret for now! Also, some other improvements: - Redesigned the feedback page to make it easier to see your progress and where to improve; - The feedback for each question has been replaced to show the correct answer (in green) and the answer you gave; - The keyboard is now more accessible for those with dyslexia or lower visual acuity: the 9 looks more different to the 6 and 8, and the colours are less stark. - Added haptics for correct and incorrect answers; - Corrected a typo which sometimes appeared on the feedback page (shhh... don’t tell my students!) - The launch screen now is pixel-perfect on all devices - Works with the new iPhone XR and the third-generation iPads Pro. As ever, if you spot anything, want to suggest anything, or want more information, please contact me at http://ks2timestables.co.uk If you're a teacher and use KS2 Times Tables in school, I would love to hear from you!

Improved feedback page: - Added the time remaining to the top of the feedback page; - Made the feedback language more child friendly; - Included the answers for each incorrect question. Improved Question Generator: - Occasionally the same question would be repeated: now there are no repeat questions! If you are using KS2 Times Tables at school or at home, I'd be happy to read about your experiences, and any suggestions. You can contact me at http://ks2timestables.co.uk. Thank you!

There's now an About page where you can find out about each type of question for each level.

Thank you for the reviews of Version 1.0! Improved Feedback: I have added an animation to give immediate feedback of getting a correct answer, and the feedback page now lists which questions you didn't answer correctly this time, for each question type. Coming soon: An information screen to explain each question type.
