About Times Tables Challenge
Quick recall of times tables is one of the most useful math skills a child can have. It speeds up division, fractions, area, percentages and algebra later on.
A good order to learn them is 2, 5 and 10 first, then 3, 4 and 8, then 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12. Use the mixed mode to keep earlier tables fresh.
