Here you find answers to the questions we get the most from kids, parents and teachers. Is your question not here? Send us a message and we'll help you out.
Yes. Every game on MultiplicationGames.com is free to play. There are no subscriptions and nothing to buy in the games.
No. You can start playing right away. There is no sign-up, so kids never have to give us their name or email address.
Most games work on computers, tablets and phones. A few games are made for a mouse or keyboard and are easier to play on a computer. On a phone, many games show a big play button. Tap it and the game opens on your whole screen.
Most games are made for kids in 2nd to 5th grade, the years when the times tables are learned and practiced. For younger kids, the 1, 2, 5 and 10 times tables are the best place to begin. Older kids use the games to get faster.
Yes. On the homepage and the practice page you pick one or more tables yourself. Some games let you choose your tables before you start too, like Froggy Times Tables, Baby Race and Multiplication Practice.
First try to refresh the page. If that doesn't help, try another browser. At school, a filter can sometimes block games. Still stuck? Let us know which game it is and we'll take a look.
Most kids start around age 7 or 8, in 2nd or 3rd grade. By the end of 3rd grade they are expected to know the basic facts up to 10 × 10 by heart. In 4th grade many schools add the 11 and 12 times tables.
Multiplication facts are the simple sums from 1 × 1 up to 12 × 12, like 6 × 7 = 42. Kids learn them by heart so they don't have to count every time.
Start with the 1, 2, 5 and 10 times tables, because they have easy patterns. Then learn the 3, 4 and 11 times tables. Save the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 times tables for last. Our page for parents and teachers explains why this works so well.
About ten minutes a day is plenty. Short and often works much better than one long session. A game or a quick round on the practice page is enough.
Yes, especially at the start. On a multiplication chart kids can look up answers and spot patterns, like the square numbers in a straight line. Later, a blank chart to fill in is a great way to practice.
Most schools teach the times tables up to 12 × 12. It is useful in daily life too: a dozen eggs is 12 and there are 12 months in a year.
Yes, please do. The games run in the browser on school computers, Chromebooks, tablets and the smartboard. There is nothing to install and students don't need an account.
