Unlock surprise games!

As soon as you give the correct answer to every multiplication in a table, you unlock a new surprise game from the 4 available. The virtual teacher rewards you for your hard work: you've earned it!

Here are the reward games included in this balloon shooting game:

• Shooting game: pop as many balloons as you can without hitting the trap balloons.
• Online coloring game: color in a cute unicorn using the color palette.
• Memory game: find the matching pairs of unicorns.
• Simon game: in a festive setting, balloons light up one after another — repeat the sequence from memory.

Features of the balloon shooting game

• This game is compatible with your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
• Choose the table you want to learn using the buttons below the game. This game lets you learn your multiplication tables, from the 2 times table up to the 12 times table. You've probably already noticed there's no need to learn the 1 times table or the 10 times table — they're very easy!
• The progress bar (above the game) shows you where you stand, in other words how many multiplications you still need to solve before reaching the end of the table.
• Look at the multiplication shown at the top of the game.
• Click on the correct balloon among those floating up into the clouds.
• If your answer appears on a red background: you made a mistake, and the correct answer is shown right away. A red dot appears in the progress bar.
• If your answer is correct: well done! You'll hear the sound of the balloon popping. A green dot appears in the progress bar.
• If the sound bothers you (or the people around you), you can turn it off using the button in the top-right corner of the game.
• You can change the speed at which the balloons float up using the buttons below the game.
• You can choose between 2 game modes: "RANDOM" and "INCREASING". "INCREASING" mode is easier, since the multiplications are shown in order, while "RANDOM" mode is more effective for memorizing your tables.
• If you no longer want to see the tips the teacher gives you at the start of each table, you can hide them using the "OFF" button below the game.

How to use this times tables game?

• 1- Focus on one table at a time: choose the smallest table you still struggle with. For example, if you already know your tables perfectly (without hesitation) up to the 4 times table, start with the 5 times table. But if you still hesitate on the 4 times table, go back to that one first.
  
  
• 2- 10 minutes a day is enough: practice on the same table a little every day, for 3 or 4 days. That's enough to memorize it completely! Don't forget a quick 5-minute review a week later to remember it for the long term.
  
  
• 3- "INCREASING" mode and "RANDOM" mode: when you don't know a table well yet, start with "INCREASING" mode — it's easier. Then, once you feel more comfortable, switch to "RANDOM" mode.
  
  
• 4- The virtual teacher's tips: be sure to check them out, they'll save you a lot of time!
  
  
• 5- Take a look at your most common mistakes: they're displayed below the game (right at the bottom).
