It is designed for children aged 6–11 and used by parents, schools, and tutors across the UK. It prioritises understanding before recall, not the other way around." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How is this different from a standard times tables app?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Most apps quiz recall without building it. This programme teaches why multiplication works — through visual models, patterns, and real-world contexts — before moving to practice. Children who understand the patterns recall facts faster and retain them longer." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Who is the programme designed for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It is designed for any child learning times tables — from children just starting in Year 2 to Year 6 pupils preparing for SATs. It is particularly effective for children who have tried traditional drilling and are still struggling, and for children with maths anxiety or additional learning needs." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does the full programme take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "At a typical pace of 3–4 sessions per week, most children work through all 12 levels for a single times table in 4–6 weeks. Completing all 11 times tables takes most children 1–2 school years, depending on how many tables they already have secure." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does the programme cover division as well as multiplication?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Levels 11 and 12 of every times table cover division facts. Multiplication and division are taught as a connected fact family — so 7×8=56, 56÷7=8, and 56÷8=7 are all learned together." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is the programme suitable for children with maths anxiety?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It is specifically designed for this. There are no countdown timers, no failure penalties, and always-available step-by-step guidance. Children who have shut down during traditional timed practice often re-engage with an approach that removes pressure and explains rather than tests." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What makes games an effective learning tool in this programme?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Games are not a reward added on top of learning — they are where most of the repetition happens. Because children are engaged, they practise far more multiplication facts than they would with worksheets. The competitive element also builds the kind of resilience and speed that the Year 4 MTC requires." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can a child use the programme at home and at school simultaneously?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Progress is tracked by the platform regardless of where a child logs in. Teachers can see what a child has completed at home, and parents can see what has been assigned at school. Everyone supporting the child has the same picture of where they are." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is the programme aligned with the UK primary maths curriculum?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. The programme covers all times tables up to 12×12 as required by the end of Year 4 in England. The 12 levels align with the progression from conceptual understanding (KS1–early KS2) through to fluent recall (required for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check)." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What rewards does the programme include?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Children earn coins through play and can spend them on digital items — avatars, themes, and accessories. Parents can also set real-world rewards (e.g. 30 minutes extra screen time, a trip to the park) that children work towards. The reward system is designed to maintain motivation over the full length of the programme." } } ] } ] --- [ XTables Champions Part of the ESSTA Kids family ](/Welcome) [Learn](/levels-and-progression) [Games](/GamesOverview) [All Games](/GamesOverview)[Connect Four](/connect-four)[Guess Who?](/guess-who)[Times Tables Bingo](/times-tables-bingo)[Snap!](/snap)[Play with Friends](/games/play-with-friends)[Play against Champion](/games/play-against-champion) [Every Learner](/times-tables-for-every-learner) [Adaptive Learning](/adaptive-times-tables-learning) [Schools](/ForSchools) [Lunchtime Clubs](/LunchtimeClubs)[SENCO Support](/SchoolSencoInfo)[Homework Setting](/SchoolHomeworkSetting)[Whole-Class Games](/SchoolWholeClassGames)[Level Matching](/SchoolLevelMatching) [Wellbeing](/wellbeing-and-safeguarding) [Pricing](/pricing) Log In / Sign Up # Everything your child needs to master multiplication XTables Champions is a complete multiplication programme — not just a quiz app. It covers every times table from 2 to 12 across 12 carefully designed levels, with games, rewards, and reporting built in.

Does the programme cover division as well as multiplication? Is the programme suitable for children with maths anxiety? What makes games an effective learning tool in this programme? Can a child use the programme at home and at school simultaneously? Is the programme aligned with the UK primary maths curriculum? What rewards does the programme include? 💡 ### Why no timers — and why it matters Countdown timers activate the brain's stress response, which actively impairs the working memory children need for mathematical recall.
