Spoken Multiplications Trainer
Update January 2024: to make these training modes more effective, the random numbers no longer end in zero.
Questions like 17 × 40 no longer appear. This may cause a small dip in your scores 🙃 even though you are progressing.
After understanding the theory, improvement in mental maths comes from specific focused practice. This tool is just a simple way to practise spoken multiplications.
How to Use this Tool:
Ideally use a desktop browser to make input easier.
Select the required number of digits from the drop-down menu.
Ensure that your audio volume is sufficient to hear the sound.
Type the answer as fast as possible when the question appears, and hit [Enter] or the “Go!” button.
The tool will check your answer and reveal your time.
Hit [Enter] or “Go!” again to move to the next question.
