The multiplication table is the basis for calculations that a child will do in subsequent years of study and throughout his life. You may not notice this, but you also use it, for example, when buying vegetables from the market or calculating the floor area in a new apartment..
We have selected several smartphone simulators that make it easier to memorize the multiplication table. The child can exercise for 5-15 minutes at a time. Try to do this workout at least twice a day. Brain research has shown that new information is remembered much better if it is repeated 4-6 hours after the first memorization.
The main goal is to remember, and not to get an answer by counting or in any other way. You can easily notice when a child is trying to count because it takes much longer to get an answer..
Multiplication Table for Children
The title may not be the most remarkable, but this app contains many useful exercises that will help your child improve their multiplication skills in practice.
In the Classroom, the child can compete with himself by solving a wide range of arithmetic problems covering repeated addition, finding the product of two numbers, and inverse operations (for example, division, where the inverse operation for 4x3 = 12 is 12/3 = 4)..
In the "Game room" there are two games, in each of which knowledge of the multiplication table is tested. As soon as the child feels that he has already learned how to multiply a certain number, he can test his skills in the "Test" section.

First, the child chooses a number between two and twelve. After that, he needs to burst all the balls, the numbers of which are multiples of the chosen one. And the faster he does it, the more points he will score. If a balloon bursts with a number that is not a multiple of the selected one, the total time for solving the problem is reduced.
