How does the SpuQ Division Tables game work?

You can practice dividing at various levels here, together with mascot Spuq. You can practice divisions at 2 different levels. The first level and easy difficulty option covers divisions until 100. This level is a mix of division tables 1 to 12 and other sums up to 100. Examples of the problems are shown in the selection menu. After you've finished the question, Spuq will show you whether you got the answer right or wrong. If you got it wrong, you'll get another chance of course. The questions have no time limit, take your time and think about them carefully.

Division Facts Table are just as important to general numeracy as tables during primary school, and afterwards of course. You can practice the problems in class but also at home. For optimal results, try regular practice, 15 minutes at a time for example. You'll improve and build confidence through repetition.

How to play the game times tables memory?

The goal of the game is to find cards with the number equal to table sum. This seems easier than it is. Normally you must remember the same cards in memory, but you must also calculate the times table question and then remember the answer. This game can be played with one times table, but you can play with multiple times tables at the same time. Unique to this educational game is that you can also play against someone else, so you can play a match against your classmate or perhaps beat your teacher! If you play the memory game in the multiplayer version, you can decide in advance who is player 1 or player 2 and then the game choses of which player may start.

Controls are touch the screen or with the mouse.

Try out this rally game while practising your times tables. Which country can you get to?

How does the times table rally game work?

In the times table rally game you are allowed to drive in various rallies and you will advance to the next level if you get good results. Each level allows you to race through a country, you start out in Italy and the other countries are a surprise.

It is not that simple to get to the next country. First of all you have to get all the maths problems right to make progress. That's the basic condition, but of course you also have to move faster than your opponent, otherwise you will never reach the next level. When you have answered five or ten questions in a row correctly, you will receive a boost! On the way you will also run into obstacles, such as oil spills and stacks of logs. If you jump over them, they will not bother you.

At most levels you must answer questions about one times table. The game also has special levels, the various times table questions are jumbled and you will also have to answer more questions. When you have mastered a special level, you will have earned 5 stars, at a normal level you can only earn 3 stars. You can earn a total of 51 stars. Good luck playing the times table game!
