Each times table will be presented individually. For every multiplication the division will be calculated. The children will be guided to work independently. The times table shown makes it easy to control each task independently at any time. Children choose the row that they like to practise on. They can choose between 4 training variations: forwards, backwards, crosswise or divided. They succeed when all 4 variations are done without any mistake. There will be a summary for the child to check which tables it manages well and others it does not do so well as yet. In the third section the aim is to train the already learned. The child will choose the numbers to calculate with and will also set a time to finish it. 5 minutes, 10 minutes or endless.
