TabTabTab is the app to learn multiplication facts by heart, for kids ages 6 and up. Your child answers out loud: if the answer comes instantly, the fact is truly memorized. Shortlisted for the Teach Primary Awards 2026. THE BEST WAY TO LEARN MULTIPLICATION FACTS, ACCORDING TO RESEARCH Memory research is clear: kids learn more by practicing a little and often, mixing questions up, and recalling answers from memory instead of re-reading them. TabTabTab combines all three: • Spaced repetition: each fact comes back right before it would be forgotten. • Mixed practice: times tables are interleaved, just like on a test at school. • Answering out loud: saying the answer forces real recall, not just recognition. Practice adapts to your child's actual mistakes: tricky facts come back more often, and facts they already know are reviewed at just the right time so they stick. 3 MINUTES A DAY A session takes about 3 minutes and around 20 questions. Perfect for homework, a quick review before a test, or a simple daily routine. THE FULL MULTIPLICATION TABLE All times tables from 0 to 12, one at a time or mixed.
