Time Table Lite


Time Table Lite is a free math educational app for the Ipad. It is great for children to use to practice their multiplication facts. It is very easy to use. There are five icons you need to know, a house which takes you to the home page, an eye so you just see each math problem to review it, a pencil so you can solve the problems and then check to see if you have the right answer, an ear to hear the problems read out loud to you, and then a stop watch to challenge you. This meets a bunch of differnt learns, visual, audio, kinesthetic. It reviews the multiplication facts in a variety of ways to help the students really get the problems instilled in them. It is also great because the voices that are used are children's voices which is helpful as they cheer on the students using the app. The children playing this app do not have to read anything either, the app tells the child what to do on each page out loud. You can also email your scores from the app to people. This could be used in the classroom to give points in the math area. What is not so great about this app is that the free version only goes up to your 4 times table. If you buy the full version for $4.99, you get up to the 12 times table. I would definitely pay the 5 dollars for the full app for my classroom or my young children. It is well worth it and the children will love it. Its challenging but also educational!

  1. I also like this app because it meets many different learning styles: visual, audio, and kinesthetic. It provides a variety of options for the students to choose to test their skills in multiplication (working on various times tables, providing a spot for you to work out the answer and check your work, enabling you to listen to the voices reading the problems to you, and using a timed test to check your abilities). Overall, I think this app is very useful to help students practice multiplication.
