Practice multiplication. Master every fact. Times Table Practice: TimesX helps kids build multiplication fluency through focused practice, smart feedback, and measurable progress. The new Mastery system tracks progress across all multiplication facts. Kids can see which facts they’re learning, which they’re proficient in, and which they’ve truly mastered. Instead of simply completing quizzes, they have a clear goal: master all 121 facts from the 2–12 times tables. BUILD REAL MULTIPLICATION MASTERY The Mastery Grid makes progress easy to understand at a glance. Each multiplication fact progresses from Not Learned to Learning to Proficient to Mastered as skills improve. Mastery isn’t based on getting a question right just once. TimesX tracks repeated success over time, helping kids build confidence in each multiplication fact. SMART PRACTICE THAT FOCUSES ON WHAT NEEDS WORK TimesX remembers correct and incorrect answers and helps identify the multiplication facts that need the most practice. Kids can: * Practice facts they’ve missed * Focus on weaker multiplication tables * Reinforce facts they’re still learning * Revisit mastered facts to help retain them * Track improvement over time Practice becomes more focused instead of simply repeating questions a child already knows. THREE WAYS TO PRACTICE Choose from: * Multiple Choice — Build quick recall * Type the Answer — Strengthen memory without answer choices * Word Problems — Apply multiplication to real-world situations On supported devices, new word problems can be generated using on-device AI, providing fresh practice while keeping the experience private. SEE REAL PROGRESS TimesX goes beyond a single test score. Track: * Facts mastered * Facts still being learned * Correct and incorrect answers * Test speed and performance * Difficult multiplication facts * Progress toward mastering all 121 facts Encouraging milestones help kids see how much they’ve accomplished and how close they are to their next goal. BUILT FOR FAMILIES AND CLASSROOMS TimesX supports unlimited users, making it ideal for families, shared iPads, and classrooms. Each student has their own progress and mastery history. PRIVATE, OFFLINE, AND DISTRACTION-FREE * Works offline * No account required * No ads * No cloud dependency * Student data stays on the device * Supported AI features run locally on the device Kids can concentrate on multiplication without ads, accounts, or unnecessary distractions. SHARE RESULTS Parents and teachers can easily share test results using email, messages, or other sharing options available on the device. MADE FOR A REAL STUDENT TimesX began as a project I created to help my own son improve his multiplication skills in elementary school. That same goal still guides the app today: make multiplication practice focused, understandable, and encouraging. Whether a child is just beginning their times tables or working toward complete multiplication fluency, TimesX gives them a simple goal: Practice. Improve. Master all 121 facts.
