MENUCali’s Times Table – Multiplication and Division Facts Game
Fill in a whole times table with Cali, one cell at a time. Choose one of three games – Multiply, Find the factors or Divide – and a table size: up to 5, up to 10 or up to 12. Every right answer fills one cell, and an unfinished table waits for you until you come back. Your stars and best scores are saved in this browser.
How to play
- Choose a game and a table size: up to 5, up to 10 or up to 12. Every table is open from the start.
- Multiply: Cali asks, for example, 7 × 8 = ? Type the answer on the number keys and press OK.
- Find the factors: Cali gives a number, for example 24. Tap an empty cell whose row times column makes it: 3 × 8, 8 × 3, 4 × 6 or 6 × 4. You can also drag from the first cell of the table: the shaded rectangle shows which product you are making.
- Divide: Cali asks, for example, 56 ÷ 7 = ? Type the missing number.
- Filling the table: every right answer fills one cell; fill the whole table to finish. You can stop and come back later; your table waits for you.
- Points and stars: a right answer on the first try gives 2 points, on the second try 1 point; after two wrong tries the game shows the answer. A cell answered after a hint gives at most 1 point. 90% of the points earn 3 stars, 65% earn 2 stars.
- One number: a quick practice of one times table, for example all the facts with 7.
- A finished table: tap any number to light up every cell with the same number. The Squares switch outlines the numbers 1, 4, 9, 16 … – each of them is a number times itself.
- Keyboard: type the digits, Backspace deletes, Enter checks and H gives a hint. In Find the factors the arrow keys move a frame over the cells and Enter picks the cell. Esc goes back to the games.
What the game teaches
The times table shows every product of two numbers: row 7 and column 8 meet at 56.
The order does not matter. 7 × 8 = 8 × 7, so the table is the same on both sides of its diagonal.
One number, several ways. One number can be made in several ways: 24 = 3 × 8 = 4 × 6.
Division undoes multiplication. 56 ÷ 7 = 8 because 7 × 8 = 56.
From what you know to what you don’t. A fact you don’t know can be built from one you do: 7 × 8 is 7 × 7 plus one more 7.
