Oct. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Tap your way to times tables mastery, and help feed the squirrels along the way!

Tap Times Tables is a great, fun way to learn your times tables via a fun and well paced memory game.

Tap Times Tables is a Universal app, and will run equally well on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.  It requires IOS 4.0 or later to run.

Tap Times Tables was originally developed to be a very simple way to teach the times tables to primary or elementary school aged children via repetition.  With a lot of input from my kids, it has evolved into a fun game with scores, and rewards, whilst maintaining the original aim of helping them to memorise their tables.

Through the use of the options screen, the player can choose “Mastery Mode” and “Memory booster”.

Mastery Mode simply allows the student to learn/practice a single table.  Playing in this mode presents 12 questions in a randomly ordered sequence.  Each question is given 15 seconds during which the player can score points.  After the 15 seconds, he or she can still answer, however no points are earnt.  Even if no points are earnt, a correct answer still counts towards mastery of that table.

If Mastery Mode is off, then the quiz will include ALL tables up to and including the selected table.  So, if you have a high achieving student, he or she can throw themselves into a quiz of up to 144 questions.

To add still more challenge to the game, by turning Memory booster on, every time the student makes a mistake, he or she will be taken back to the first question, and the same sequence will be repeated.  This will continue until such time as the entire quiz is completed without error.   This is an excellent way to reinforce their knowledge through repetition.

Rewards in the form of different missiles can be earn’t by mastering individual tables in Mastery Mode.

Tap Times Tables is aimed squarely at those children that need a bit of a nudge to practice their tables.  The only way to learn the tables is through pure repetition, so providing a fun way to practice will encourage that repetition.

Tap Times Tables is only the first of what will be a series of similar apps, aimed at helping kids learn.
