Little Monkey Apps Times tables provides the repetition required for the mastery of times tables with innovative presentation and 
delivery. No more 20 out of 20!
Little Monkey App Times tables presents students with a random grid of 81 spaces asking multiplication questions from numbers 1 through 12. Unlike flash card methods, individual tables or multiple choices, students must use their knowledge to commit to a specific answer.
Students complete each answer using the monkey calculator, promoting calculator skills as a bonus.
Little Monkey Apps Times tables endeavours to provide support to students’ individual capabilities. The pencil corrector enables them to ‘peek’ at the answers if they wish to measure their progress throughout the game. Beginning students will find this useful to check if they are on the right track. This feature also encourages self-correction and checking of answers. More confident students are able wait until they finish all 81 tiles.
Little Monkey Apps Times tables measures progress through the achievement of speed and more importantly, accuracy. Students and parents can track progress through accuracy percentage and improvements to time, meaning improvements can be monitored on an individual basis rather than comparison to others.
Little Monkey Apps Times tables challenges students to remain engaged to beat their own personal record through the acquisition of badges. Specific badges are awarded for targeted milestones such as speed, accuracy and ‘not peeking’. Every student will want to continue to play to beat their own personal record and achieve these badges.
Little Monkey Apps Times tables is an interesting, alternative delivery of mastering times tables content.
Times tables can be fun!
Hi Lara,
We had the opportunity to try the Little Monkey Apps Time Tables. I have two boys aged 9 & 7 & the 9 year old especially was having trouble understanding time tables. After only a couple of times using the app he’s actually starting to get the hang of time tables & even though he said it’s still hard he said using the app was fun. I think the repetition both boys get from using the app will do wonders for their grasping the concept of times tables. The boys enjoy putting their answers into the calculator & then seeing how many answers they’ve got right. The next challenge will be to beat their times on the clock.
I used this app with my 7 year old. This app doesn’t teach times tables, but is a good way to provide repetition to maths facts. The grid is quite large, and could be quite daunting to children lacking confidence in their times tables. It would be good if there was the option for a smaller grid. There is also no verbal reward for correct answers – just a green square. Overall, my son enjoyed the challenge of this app, but some minor additions would help it cater to a wider audience.
HI Lara, we were lucky enough to have the chance to try this App but to be honest I used it more than my 9 and 6yr old did. It doesn’t teach times tables but as Naomi said it’s a good way to check if you know them. However if you don’t there is no way of it helping you to find out what the correct answer is if you get it wrong. It was way to hard for my 6yr old as there were too many questions and the two other kids I showed it to (9 and 10) did it once and then had no desire to try it, even with the trophies and badges you can get.
Nice little app and is good to help develop their times tables skills. My 8 year old found it more useful than my 5 year old, as she doesn’t really understand times tables yet. It would be useful if they include divide, minus and plus as well.
