Times tables game for kids grades 3-6. Learn to multiply and earn cute cats in this safe, ad-free math app designed by a dad for his daughter. It works offline, too! Master multiplication tables from 1s to 13s with fun math facts practice! This educational game combines serious math drills with a charming storybook world where kids collect adorable cats as rewards. Parents love the complete safety — no ads, no tracking, no distractions. It works without an internet connection for car rides and travel, aligns with elementary math curriculum standards (Ontario grades 3-6), and features an intuitive calculator-style interface kids understand immediately. Kids love collecting cats and unlocking rewards as they learn. The positive encouragement builds confidence and self-esteem through wholesome, engaging gameplay and good vibes baked in throughout. Plus it goes beyond basic tables — master all the way up to 13s (Baker's Dozen!). There is a practice mode that is not timed, which shows answers after a delay. This lets kids practice until they feel confident they are ready for the more challenging drills. I created Penelope's Math Cats because my daughter needed times tables practice. It worked so well — she mastered all her multiplication facts! — that I decided to share it with other families. This isn't just another flashcard app. It's a thoughtfully designed learning experience that prioritizes both math fact fluency and positive vibes. Your child will join Penelope, a fun and sassy little girl, and her growing roster of kitty cats in a distraction-free environment focused purely on learning. Perfect for homeschool families, classroom supplements, or any parent wanting their child to build strong multiplication skills while having genuine fun.

Brain Games is a mental workout for the whole family, ages 6 to 80+: 75 games that adapt to your age and level. Five minutes a day is all it takes. • ADAPTS TO YOUR AGE: when you start, you pick your age, and the games you see, the words, the time for each challenge and the starting level all change to match. Little ones can play without needing to read. • 75 GAMES IN 8 AREAS: memory, attention, speed, flexibility, logic, math, language and spatial reasoning. • BACKED BY SCIENCE: every game is based on a real psychology test (Corsi, n-back, Stroop, Wisconsin, Raven, Tower of Hanoi…) and explains why it works, plus a tip for using it in everyday life. • ALWAYS AT YOUR LEVEL: every game has 50 levels and gets harder or easier on its own, based on how you play. • TODAY'S WORKOUT: a few minutes with one game from each of the areas you've practiced least. • LEARN AND REMEMBER: spaced repetition so you don't forget what you learn (flags, capitals, times tables, history, science), plus short lessons on memory techniques. • FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: a profile for each person, with their own age and progress. • WATCH YOUR PROGRESS BLOOM: your brain flower, levels for each area, 24 medals and your daily streak. • PRIVATE: no account, no ads and no tracking.
