Times tables practice, on the table your teacher set

Practise the 7 times tableTimes tables test on Friday

Photograph the line in the homework diary, whether it says ‘7 times table’ or ‘×6 and ×8’. Kamelo turns it into about ten minutes on exactly those tables, with a big number pad and Kamelo for company. No leaderboard, and no timer unless you switch one on.

Year 2 to Year 6

From the photo to the practice

  1. You photograph the homework

    The line in the homework diary, a worksheet or a screenshot from the school app.

  2. You check the tables

    About thirty seconds later Kamelo shows the tables he found. Add or remove any table from ×1 to ×12, then confirm.

  3. Your child practises

    Today’s homework is waiting on their screen: about ten minutes of facts from those tables, and nothing else.

A times tables screen: the question ‘7 × 5 ?’ on a big card above a number pad, with the session’s progress dots and Kamelo in yellow.

During the session

One question at a time
A big card shows 7 × 5 and your child answers on a large number pad. In touch mode, they pick from four big answers instead.
Division too, when it’s set
If the homework asks for division facts, they come from the same table: 35 ÷ 7 alongside 7 × 5.
Missed facts come back
When your child misses a fact, Kamelo shows the right answer, and the fact returns a few questions later, at most twice. It’s an ‘almost’, never a red cross.
No clock unless you want one
There is no timer by default. For Year 4, a parent can switch on a practice mode in the format of the multiplication tables check.

Helping your child learn their times tables

  • Follow the school’s order

    The national curriculum starts with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables in Year 2, then the 3, 4 and 8 in Year 3, and every table up to 12 × 12 in Year 4.

  • Use the facts they already know

    7 × 6 is the same as 6 × 7, and doubling the 4 times table gives the 8 times table. There are fewer new facts than it looks.

  • Short and often

    Five minutes most days works better than one long session. A few facts on the way to school count too.

  • Speed comes last

    Understanding first, then recall, then speed. Timed games suit some children and upset others: you know which yours is.

Questions parents ask

Which times tables should my child know in each year?
The national curriculum in England expects the 2, 5 and 10 times tables in Year 2, the 3, 4 and 8 times tables in Year 3, and all the tables up to 12 × 12 by the end of Year 4. The matching division facts are learnt alongside. In Years 5 and 6, children keep using their tables in larger calculations.
How do I help my child learn their times tables?
Start with the table set this week and a few minutes a day. Show how facts link up: 3 × 4 is the same as 4 × 3, and the 4 times table is double the 2 times table. Then practise recall until answers come quickly. Our times tables guide sets out a calm week-by-week routine.
Is there a timer?
Not by default. Kamelo asks each question at your child’s pace, with no clock on the screen. For children getting ready for the Year 4 multiplication tables check, a parent can switch on a practice mode with 6 seconds per question, the same as the real check.
How is Kamelo different from other times tables apps?
It starts from the table your teacher set this week, read from your photo, so practice matches the homework. There are no leaderboards and no ads, and nothing to buy in your child’s space. Missed facts come back later in the session, and the parent space shows you which facts need another go.
What is the multiplication tables check?
A statutory check for Year 4 pupils in England, taken on screen at school in June: 25 questions from the 2 to 12 times tables, with 6 seconds for each. There is no pass mark. Our page on the check explains the format and how to practise without pressure.
