Times Tables for Grown-Ups

The whole table, 1 to 12. Twelve tables, twelve materials.

← Math · GED at The People’s Share · Page two: squares, roots, and powers →

There are 144 squares on this table. You will not need to learn 144 separate things. Half of the table is a mirror of the other half, and most of what is left follows a rule you can pick up in a minute. Each table has its own material, brass for the fives, bark for the nines, so your eye can help your memory. Tap any square to begin.

How this works
  • Explore. Tap a square to see the fact, a picture of it, and the rule behind it. Tap a number down the left side to meet that whole table.
  • Lenses. Fold the table in half to see how much of it is mirror. Or show only the 21 squares that need real practice.
  • Hide the answers. Tap a square, work it out in your head, then tap it again to check.
  • Practice. Answer questions on a keypad. Each right answer polishes a square. After three, it shines. A wrong answer takes one polish away and brings the question back soon. Your progress stays on this device.
