Tap any box and hear the answer, see each table in full, play at finding products with method clues (double it, half of ×10, one more lot…) and, if you'd like it on paper, print it complete or with gaps (the whole grid or just one table) for your child to fill in.
Tap a box: you'll hear the multiplication and its answer

In the ABN method, the open, number-based way of calculating used in many Spanish schools, times tables don't start with memorising: children reach them from what they already know. The 2 times table is double; the 10 times table, a zero on the end; the 5 times table, half of the 10 times table; the 9 times table, the 10 times table minus one lot; the 4 times table, double double; the 6 times table, the 5 times table and one more lot. Once your child understands where each answer comes from, memorising it is easy, and if they forget one some day, they can rebuild it.
An order that works well: 2, 10, 5, 4, 3, 9, 6, 7 and 8. The first ones come straight from counting; the last ones lean on the earlier ones (7 × 6 is 7 × 5 and another 7). And always turning them around (the commutative property): if they know 3 × 8, they already know 8 × 3.
Explore: tap any box and you'll hear the whole multiplication, with its row and column highlighted. View a table: choose the 7s and you'll see its ten answers in a column; tap each one to hear it. Find it!: it asks for "7 × 8" and you tap that box; if it's not the one, it tells you whether the answer is bigger or smaller.
The second and third years of Spanish primary school (ages 7 to 9): the 2, 10 and 5 times tables first, in the second year, and the rest in the third. Five minutes a day is worth more than half an hour on a Sunday.
