Kids begin by working through learning paths for the multiplication facts in an order that makes sense: x2, x10/x5, x4, x3, x6, x9, x7 and then x8.
In the x2 set, they begin by seeing multiplication as equal groups. They then practice skip counting and repeated addition to see how skills they already know relate to multiplication. They then move on to x10 and x5, since these are typically the easier facts for kids to master. This module helps them to build confidence as they learn multiplication. This module uses place value, dimes and nickels to help kids build on math that is already familiar and build a strong foundation. They will also see how the x5 facts relate to the x10 facts, again, building fact fluency.
Subsequent modules weave in additional skills related to multiplication, while still only focusing on one set of facts at a time. As kids progress through each path, they will learn the commutative property of multiplication, learn how to break apart area models to solve problems, use number lines and hundred chart to solve and use number bonds to visualize fact families and see how multiplication relates to division.
Throughout the modules, kids will also practice finding the missing factor, further strengthening their understanding of multiplication, adding an additional challenge and paving the way to learn and master the multiplication facts.
After successfully completing all 8 multiplication fact modules, they can use the 1- and 2-player review games to review a mixture of all facts. These simple games provide the repetition and practice kids need to solidify the facts using engaging games rather than flash cards or rote memorization.
By using powerful visuals and meaningful strategies to learn the facts and build comprehension, your kids will be on their way to fact fluency and mastering the multiplication facts from 2-10!

I’m a mom and a math teacher and this app is perfect for my 4th grader who needs just a little bit more help to master her multiplication facts. Helps student understand what multiplication is plus repetition and tricks to help reach mastery and fluency. You can select different multiplication facts to review—for example 8’s are a common one to struggle with so you can work on activities that focus just on the 8’s. I like that it’s not a monthly subscription—just a one time affordable price for full access to all the app.
Great Idea That Could Be Even Better

I love that this app includes visual strategies for teaching the facts, and that it allows learners to focus on the facts one at a time.I wish it also had a flash cards setting where you could decide which facts you’d like to add to your deck of flash cards so that you can focus on specific sets of facts at one time, rather than all at once, or one at a time only.My bigger complaint is that some of the games freeze, or never offer a workable solution (such as the slingshot games that never give you the solution to the presented problem as an option for something to shoot at.) Also, the slingshot games require a remarkable amount of hand-eye coordination that my students find frustrating, and since there is no way to bypass a game that you can’t beat, your progress on the path toward learning a particular fact gets halted. This happens both when you encounter a bug that causes the game to freeze or be impossible to win, or when a student lacks the coordination to win.There also need to be more consequences for wrong answers in games to discourage blind guessing, otherwise students can eventually pass a level just by popping every balloon, for example, as they are never forced to restart after a certain number of errors. I think that this app is a fantastic idea and a great start. In the next update, I’d like to see some bug fixes and some more thought towards ensuring students do pass the levels because they have learned the content (not because they are wildly guessing) and students who know the material aren’t held back due to a lack of coordination. Thank you!

So many games and apps are designed for meorization. This app really helps cchildren to see adn understand the concept of multiplication, not just memorize facts. The visuals are great. It is entertaining while lots of learning is going on. My students request to play Fact Fluency! The only hiccup for me, is I use this as an intervention tool for older students (grades 4 ) that struggle learning to multiply, and the graphics can seem a little juvenile and condensending to them, but it hasn't stopped most from playiing.
Love this app!!
Mrs. D the math teacher
Wishing you would create similar app for addition and subtraction as well as division facts PLEASE! 😊
