Freebie Friday: Times Tables Practice Challenge
Welcome to this week’s Freebie Friday.
Today’s free activity is a Times Tables Practice Challenge, designed to help children practise multiplication in a calm, focused way.
There is no account needed to try it, and nothing to download. Just start the Challenge and practise.
Try the Times Tables Practice Challenge
This Challenge is designed for short, focused practice sessions. Children can work at their own pace, repeat questions, and build confidence through practice rather than speed.
It is particularly useful for children preparing for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check, as it supports regular recall practice without the pressure of timed tests.
Use the Challenge below to get started!
Tip: For the best experience on phones and tablets, you can open the Challenge full screen.

Progress does not save, and streaks/scores will reset if you leave or refresh the page.
We think this gives kids a good reason to show you what they're doing with their screen time - they should be proud to achieve a good score!
How this Challenge helps
Times tables are a key foundation for maths, but they often cause frustration when practice feels rushed or pressured.
This Challenge removes timers, distractions, and noise. The focus is simply on practising multiplication facts in a clear, supportive way.
It works well for:
- Quick daily maths practice
- Building confidence ahead of the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check
- Independent learning at home
Timed practice in Knowva
For families who want to practise under test style conditions, Knowva subscriptions include a full Times Tables Check practice mode in the Knowva Challenges section.
This version mirrors the official format more closely, including the six second timer per question, while still keeping the same clear layout and child friendly design.
Children can move between calm practice and timed practice as they build confidence.
A challenge for grown ups too
If you want to really test your times tables, try the Challenge yourself!
Many parents are surprised how tricky it feels without a calculator, especially under time pressure. It is a great way to understand what children are being asked to do and a fun challenge in its own right.
