Please note that a user account is required to play this game, for more information please visit: https://www.emile-education.com The Emile range of resources has been developed by a group of teachers, academics and game developers. Together we have developed and supplied games-based learning resources to over 15% of the primary schools in the UK & Ireland. Our range of resources are all underpinned by robust pedagogical research and are tested rigorously by teachers in classrooms. Initiated by a Knowledge Transfer Partnership and part funded by Innovate UK, Emile was developed in conjunction with the Faculty of Education of Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK based on robust pedagogy.  The multi-award-winning resource delivers a real impact on the learning outcomes of students throughout key stages 1 and 2, while reducing teacher workload significantly, especially when combined with Emile's own schemes of work. UK teachers' feedback has been integral to the development of Emile. As a direct result, Emile now features: - a Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) Emulator with additional controls to control the time limits, the questions asked and slow students down; - a full and comprehensive spelling scheme targeted directly at the statutory spelling words; - end of unit and end of block assessments that dovetail with the White Rose scheme of work; and - tools to help students in intervention groups including auto generated knowledge gap analyses. Used in thousands of schools and multi-academy trusts across the country, Emile is perfect for homework, classroom work, assessments (both formative and summative) and intervention groups.

Prepare with Confidence for the Multiplication Tables Check (Eligible for Schools Volume Purchasing Discount) Designed specifically to mirror the Department for Education's official Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) specification, this app is the perfect tool to help Year 4 pupils master their times tables and build essential fluency. Whether your child is preparing for the statutory assessment or simply wants to sharpen their multiplication skills, this app provides a focused, engaging, and fully customisable learning experience. Key Features: • True-to-Test Practice: Every test follows the same structure and timing used in the real MTC, including the 6-second time limit and automatic progression—perfect for building both speed and confidence. • Practice Mode: Warm up with short sets of questions in practice mode before starting a full test. Ideal for getting comfortable with the pace. • Custom Tests: Select specific tables (2–12) and choose how many questions to attempt. Great for targeted practice and adapting to individual learning needs. • Instant Feedback: Answers are automatically marked, and results are displayed immediately at the end of each test. • Progress Tracking: Review past results with clear breakdowns and a visual progress chart to show improvement over time. • Fully Customisable Interface: Personalise background colours, fonts, and keypad colour to suit your preferences or accessibility needs. • Motivational Countdown: Add excitement and focus with an optional countdown screen before each test begins. • iPad and iPhone Optimised: Enjoy a responsive layout and smooth performance on both devices. • No Ads, No Distractions: 100% child-friendly and focused on learning. Why It Works: This app has been built from the ground up with the classroom in mind. It provides a familiar testing format, removes unnecessary distractions, and gives children regular, structured practice that boosts recall, speed, and confidence. While tailored for Year 4 learners, it's equally valuable for younger children starting out or older children looking to consolidate their multiplication knowledge. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or tutor, this app is the perfect companion to ensure every child is ready for the MTC and beyond.
