Making Times Tables Easier to Access, Not Easier to Learn

How XTables Champions is designed to be accessible

Accessibility is built into the design, not added as an afterthought. Clear text, good contrast, audio support and reduced clutter make multiplication easier to access for more children.

Clear, readable text with good contrast

Every bit of effort a child spends decoding small or low-contrast text is effort not available for the maths. Clear, readable presentation removes that barrier, so more cognitive resource goes to the multiplication itself.

Audio and read-aloud support

Children who process spoken information more easily than written text need a route in that does not depend on reading. Questions read aloud and Champion talking through every step provide that route, so the maths is accessible without the text being a barrier.
