If you are studying in senior classes, then you have passed the stage of learning multiplication tables, but if you are in junior classes, you are likely to have times tables’ practice in your daily list of things to do. If yes, then www.timestables.com — is the right website for you.

The website Times tables, gives you the opportunity to practice and learn tables online through fun and engaging quizzes and games. It is not wrong to say that children learn better when they are having fun and times tables, which are one of the basic skills of arithmetic, get tough if taught in a stereotype way. So this is where the site makes it very easy for you to learn these tables without you even realising it.

The website is free and the content is also safe. Once open, you can see the titles of the tables of one to 12 in front of you. Choose the table you want to practice. The page opens with a ‘five-step plan’.

The five-step plan is basically the practice of these tables in a variety of ways. The first step is to visualise the table, in the second, you have to drag and drop the right answer; the third is sequencing; the fourth is multiple choice, the fifth is table diploma, where you have to answer the questions that appear randomly in the box. After doing all the steps you can jump into various games, that all let you practice the specific table you chose earlier.

All these games are pretty engaging, you will love playing and would challenge yourself to think, remember and answer the questions correctly. For instance, in one of the games, “Happy Burger”, you have to serve the customers the burger but the key is to make them happy, if you give them the wrong one, they will leave.

And how would you do that? Simple, the customer comes with a question, you are given multiple choice answers below. If you choose correct answer, the burger is served with a pattie, cheese and tomato. If you choose the wrong answer, the customer immediately leaves in a bad mood and obviously, you would not want the customer to get cross with you! Isn’t it?

This and various other interesting games are there to make you learn the times tables in a fun way. Apart from that, you can download worksheets and take speed tests as well.
