Practice this week’s math facts, without a stopwatch

Practice the 7s multiplication factsMath facts: + and − within 20

Addition and subtraction facts in the early grades, multiplication facts from 3rd grade: take a photo of the planner line and Kamelo turns it into about ten minutes of practice. Your child answers on a big keypad, with no timer and no leaderboard.

Kindergarten to Grade 5

From the photo to the practice

  1. Take a photo of the planner line

    “Practice the 7s,” “facts within 20,” “×6 and ×8 quiz Friday”: handwritten or printed, Kamelo works out which facts are meant.

  2. Check the facts

    About thirty seconds later, you see what Kamelo understood, for example the 7s with ×7 ticked. Add or remove a table with a tap, then confirm.

  3. Hand over the phone

    Your child finds the facts in today’s homework and practices them with Kamelo, who turns yellow for math.

Math facts screen: “How much is… 7 × 5 ?” on a big card, a keypad from 0 to 9 with an OK key, progress dots at the top, and Kamelo in yellow.

During the session

One fact at a time
A big card shows the fact, “7 × 5 = ?”. Your child types the answer on a large keypad or, in touch mode, taps one of four big answer bubbles.
The whole set, mixed
For the 7s, that’s 7 × 1 up to 7 × 10, plus the matching division facts if the teacher asked for them. For addition, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 count as two facts, and the same fact never comes up twice in a row.
Missed facts come back
A missed fact is just an “almost,” with no red cross. It comes back three questions later, at most twice in a session, and your summary lists it under the facts to review.
No timer by default
There’s no stopwatch by default and never a leaderboard. Your child works at their own pace and hears encouragement, not a buzzer.
Mental math too
Make-10 facts, doubles, halves, adding tens: when the planner says “mental math,” Kamelo has an exercise for that as well.

How to help your child learn math facts at home

  • Strategies before speed

    Working a fact out comes first: 9 + 6 is 10 + 5, and 7 × 4 is 7 × 2 doubled. Speed follows once the strategy is easy, and a 2021 federal practice guide says as much for timed practice.

  • A small set at a time

    Work on one table or one group of facts, mixed with a few your child already knows. Move on when it’s solid, even if the week isn’t over.

  • Ask for the whole fact

    Have your child say “seven times eight is fifty-six,” not just “fifty-six.” It keeps the question and the answer together.

  • A few minutes, most days

    Short practice spread across the week holds up better than one long session. Spacing practice out is one of the study recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education’s research arm.

  • Know what the standards expect

    Under the Common Core, which many states adopted or adapted, children should “know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers” by the end of 2nd grade, and “all products of two one-digit numbers” by the end of 3rd grade.

Questions parents ask

What math facts should my child know in each grade?
Under the Common Core, which many states use or have adapted: adding and subtracting within 5 in kindergarten, within 10 in 1st grade, all one-digit sums from memory by the end of 2nd grade, and all one-digit products from memory by the end of 3rd grade. Your state’s standards and the teacher have the final word.
Is there an app for math facts practice without timers?
Kamelo is built that way: no stopwatch by default, no leaderboard and no red. Your child practices the facts the teacher set this week, and missed facts come back a few questions later. You see which ones need more work. Kamelo comes to the US in January 2027, on iPhone, iPad and Android.
Does Kamelo do addition and subtraction facts too?
Yes. When the planner says “facts within 20” or “+ and − facts,” Kamelo sets up addition or subtraction facts in that range. 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 count as two different facts, and the same one never comes up twice in a row. Make-10 facts, doubles and other mental math skills are there too.
Should my child practice math facts with a timer?
Speed is part of fluency, and a 2021 federal practice guide recommends brief timed activities, usually one to five minutes, as one way to build it for children who struggle, once they’re comfortable with strategies. At home, if a timer makes your child anxious, leave it out and focus on accurate practice most days.
How long should math facts practice take?
A few minutes on most days is enough. The What Works Clearinghouse, part of the U.S. Department of Education, has recommended that math interventions spend about 10 minutes per session on quick recall of basic facts. A Kamelo session lasts about ten minutes, on the facts from this week’s homework.
