In Times Table Dash, a question like 7 × 8 appears and three answer gates race toward your dino. Steer into the right one to speed up; three in a row starts a turbo streak. A miss shows the right answer and a tip, and each level ends with a list of any facts that need more practice.

Three levels, from the clearest patterns to the trickiest facts

  • Level 1: the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, where the patterns are easiest to see.
  • Level 2: the 3, 4 and 6 times tables.
  • Level 3: the 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 times tables.

Each table runs from 1 to 12, and each question is shown one way round or the other at random (3 × 7 or 7 × 3), so kids practice both forms.

Why the order helps

Multiplication facts are easier when new ones are built from known ones. Times 4 is double times 2. Times 5 is half of times 10. And because 3 × 7 is the same as 7 × 3, every fact learned is really two.

The Common Core standards expect students to know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers by the end of grade 3. Short, frequent rounds are an easy way to keep the facts fresh.

Questions parents ask

What grade learns times tables?

In the Common Core standards, grade 2 builds toward multiplication with equal groups and arrays, and grade 3 expects students to know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of the year.

Is Times Table Dash free?

Yes. It plays in a web browser with no account, no download and no ads, on a laptop, tablet or classroom projector.

Does it have a timer?

No countdown clock. Each gate takes a few seconds to reach the dino, at a steady pace, and correct answers make the dino a little faster.
