I created an Android mobile game called Times Table Grid Game, designed to teach multiplication tables in a new and fun way. I have maintained the game on Google Play Store since 2012, and it has accumulated over 100,000 downloads.

Game Description

This isn’t an ordinary times table game. This is something new! In this game you are asked to place the product of a multiplication in the correct cell in the grid. The better you play, the harder levels you will face. Easy to learn, difficult to master! An evident challenge for all of us, and suitable for all ages.

Everybody knows how to calculate 3 x 3 or 7 x 4. What if you were asked to calculate which two numbers need to be multiplied in order to yield the products 9 or 28? It isn’t as simple as you might think.

This game combines fun and benefit. Scientific research has proven that daily brain exercises are good for your health, and what would be a better way to do your daily brain exercises than with a couple of fun multiplication calculations.

  • A unique and brand new way to do multiplication calculations
