Times tables, arcade-style! FlashTables is a math game kids actually ask to play - and it's free, with no account, no sign-up, no ads, and no pop-ups. Race the clock, earn stars, and battle up to Grand Champion. Multiplication and division. A REAL FREE VERSION The 1, 2, 5, and 10 tables are free forever, in both multiplication and division. Not a trial, not a teaser - a complete game you can play without paying anything. PRACTICE TO LEARN Practice mode is untimed and gentle - work through a table in order and learn the pattern. Miss one and FlashTables simply shows the right answer and moves on. No buzzers, no "Game Over," no stress. THEN RACE THE CLOCK Switch to Race mode and beat the 6-second clock, with a 3-2-1 stoplight countdown and old-school arcade sounds. A miss flashes red with a soft tone - never a harsh buzzer. Win 3 perfect races and the table is MASTERED: you earn a star that never disappears. WORK UP TO GRAND CHAMPION Master every table to unlock the Championship, then win it for both multiplication and division to become a Grand Champion. Mastery stars never go away - players only ever move forward. SEE EVERY TABLE A built-in learn mode lays out any times table as a full reference chart - every fact, any operation - so players can study before they race. BUILT ON HOW CHILDREN REALLY LEARN FlashTables is grounded in research on how children actually learn math facts. Real fluency comes from short bursts of fast recall, so that's exactly what the game trains - a friendly clock, instant feedback, and repetition until the answer is automatic, then locked in for good with mastery that never fades. Even the wrong answers on the tiles are deliberate: they're the specific mistakes kids really make, so every question teaches. THREE WAYS TO ANSWER Tap a multiple-choice tile, type on the number pad, or just SAY the answer out loud - on-device speech recognition, so audio never leaves the phone. CHOOSE THE TABLES YOU WANT Set the range that fits your child - practice the 1-10 tables, or go up to 1-12 for the 11s and 12s. Change it any time, and open Practice to every table whenever you like. BUILT FOR YOUR SCHOOL'S TABLES The 1-10 tables line up with what most US classrooms expect - Common Core fluency by 3rd grade. Switch to 1-12 for states that go further, like Florida and Virginia. The Championship draws from whatever range you pick. ALL YOUR CHILDREN CAN PLAY Up to 5 player profiles, each with its own progress, avatar, theme, and settings. Everyone in the family gets their own game - free. FREE PROGRESS REPORTS FOR PARENTS See exactly which facts are solid and which need work: a color-coded fluency grid, weekly practice minutes, and your child's most-missed facts. Free for every family. REMINDERS AND A PRACTICE TIMER Set daily practice reminders and FlashTables sends a friendly notification at the time you pick. There's also a built-in timer - choose 5, 10, 15 minutes or your own - with a countdown that rides along on any screen. SHARE THE WIN Turn a great result into an animated card - medals, confetti and all - and send it with a tap through the iPhone share sheet: Messages, AirDrop, Mail, anywhere. It opens on any device, with nothing to install. TRULY MULTILINGUAL Fully translated into English, Spanish, French, and Italian - including spoken-answer recognition. Switch languages instantly, no restart. MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD One app, with a layout built for each screen - big and comfortable on iPad, tight and fast on iPhone. PRICING The free version costs nothing and shows no ads: the 1, 2, 5, and 10 tables, full progress reports, all 8 themes, and up to 5 player profiles. One simple $2.99 unlock - no subscription, ever - opens every remaining table, the full Championship, and daily practice reminders. No accounts. We don't sell data.

About

Tables Smart

Features

Times Tables lets children aged 6 to 10 practice the multiplication and division tables from 1 to 12 — at their own pace, without pressure and without distractions. HOW IT WORKS • Every practice session is a mission: answer questions, earn stars and discover new places in your reward world. • Smart mode: sums that are still tricky come back more often. During a rough patch the app temporarily mixes in easier sums; when everything goes smoothly, extra challenge appears. • Wrong answers are corrected gently and return later in the same mission. • Read-aloud: questions and feedback can be spoken out loud (entirely on-device). FOR PARENTS • Parent area behind a 4-digit PIN (with Face ID / Touch ID as backup). • Choose which tables to practice, up to 10 or 12, multiplication and/or division, and the number of exercises. • Follow progress per table, the daily streak and the practice calendar of the last four weeks. • Multiple children? Create a profile per child; progress stays separate. PRIVACY FIRST • No accounts, no ads, no analytics and no internet connection needed. • Everything stays local on the device. Nothing ever leaves it. FREE AND PAID • Practicing is completely free: all tables, all exercise types, all progress — forever. • One optional one-time purchase unlocks three extra reward worlds (dinos, ocean, princesses & unicorns). Purely cosmetic, Family Sharing included, and reachable only through the parent area. Times Tables is made for kids: big buttons, friendly feedback and a calm mode for children who prefer fewer stimuli.
