Tables Splat 1.0


Learning your Times Tables has never been so much fun. No child should ever miss out on knowing something as important as their Times Tables. Tables Splat allows children to develop their speed and accuracy in this fun and enjoyable game.




The Importance of Times Tables




We all know that learning multiplication is an essential part of any child's education. Students who have mastered multiplication gain a solid foundation in mathematics that will help them throughout school and beyond. The following are the answer to common questions that parents ask about Times Tables.

1. Why does my child need to memorise the Times Tables?

Just like learning to walk before you can run, learning multiplication and memorising the times tables are building blocks for other mathematics topics taught in school - higher learning such as division, long multiplication, fractions and algebra. Students who have not memorized the times tables will find these levels of mathematics much more difficult than they need to be. There is no time to pull out a calculator or to take 20 seconds to work out a maths strategy before coming up with the answer. Students who have not mastered their tables will very often fall behind in math (and other subjects that use math) and begin to loose confidence. All because they did not memorise the times tables!
Knowing your multiplication facts is helpful not only in academics; we frequently use multiplication in our daily lives. We might need it when doubling a recipe, determining a discount at a shopping mall or figuring out our expected arrival time when traveling. Maths calculations are subconscious elements in work, play and daily chores. Knowing the times tables can help simple tasks to be performed rapidly and save time and stress.
