Which tables?

Twelve questions on one side, twelve answers jumbled on the other. Drag each answer where it belongs — or tap one and then the other if dragging is fiddly.

Play: Match Up

  1. Pick the tables you want to match.
  2. Drag an answer onto a question, or tap the answer and then the question.
  3. A wrong pair springs back so you can try again.
  4. Match all twelve to stop the clock.

Why games beat drilling

Because every answer must be used exactly once, you can work out the awkward ones by elimination — which keeps a child in the game instead of stuck on one fact.

Common questions

Can I play the matching game without dragging?
Yes. Tap an answer to pick it up and tap a question to place it. Everything works with a keyboard too, using Tab and Enter.
How many pairs are in a round?
Six, nine or twelve — you choose before you start. Twelve is one full times table. If you select several tables the pairs are drawn from across all of them.
Does the matching game have a timer?
There is a clock, but nothing runs out. It records how long you took so you can try to beat it, without any pressure to rush.
