NO GAMES: learn without distractions. CUSTOMIZABLE: you select what math facts, and the range of numbers you want to practice. Only want to practice additions between 10 and 20? No problem! You set the rules. UNLIMITED: you have the option to create an endless flash cards quiz with unlimited facts to solve.

FOR PARENTS: the Score Card History makes it easy to stay involved in your child’s learning. Track every session — what they practiced, how long they spent, the date, and their score. It’s a simple way to measure progress, celebrate improvement, and identify where a little extra help might be needed. PRIVACY: no data whatsoever is ever collected about you. Perfect for children, students, parents, teachers, or anyone working to improve their math fluency—whether it's addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Developed by a father for his 4th grade daughter and 1st grade son! Give this app a try now! REAL REVIEWS FROM REAL USERS “My 3rd grader loves it! No distractions, just plain straight up flash cards. Bravo!” “Easy to use and fun for my kids.” “I was also frustrated with the other apps loaded with ads, ridiculous yearly subscription fees, etc., when all I wanted was a simple app for my kid. I thought “this shouldn’t be hard to develop - maybe I should go learn how.” Looks like you were way ahead of me! Thanks for this wonderful service!” “This is a perfect app for challenging your kid with time tables.” “Simple, clean, no distractions, no ads boxes at all, no IAP, the child has to actually give/write the answer and not simply choose out of a few multiple choice answer buttons. Thank you to the app designer and developer for helping any parent and child who uses this app to effectively lean their times tables. And for free with no hidden costs, many thanks!” HOW THIS APP CAME TO BE Frustrated with all the questionable options available in the App Store, I decided to create my own times tables fluency app for my daughter when she was in 4th grade. I wanted her to have a simple app without any distraction. The app has now grown into a full math facts app. While not technically a math game, this app has proven to be kind of addictive for her as she tries to beat her best score while completing 100 questions in less than 5 minutes. What often starts as a 10-minute practice ends up being multiple rounds of multiplications totaling well over 10 minutes. That’s a win in my books, and I hope it will be a win in yours too!
