Try The Full Game Free 🚀The Multiplication Tables Check is a statutory online test taken by every Year 4 pupil in England. It has 25 questions covering all times tables from 2 to 12, with just 6 seconds to answer each one. The harder tables — 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 — appear more often than the easier ones, following the Department for Education's official weighting.
Our free practice tool above mirrors that exact format: 25 questions, DfE-weighted distribution, timed. No login, no account, no cost — children can practise as many times as they like, and their score history is saved on the device so they can watch themselves improve.
Chanting tables in order builds sequence memory — but the MTC tests random recall under time pressure, which is a different skill. The most effective times tables practice is short, daily, and mixed: random questions across several tables, with instant feedback. Ten minutes a day beats an hour once a week, every time.
That's how this practice tool works, and it's how the full Pocket Money Game works too — where every correct answer also earns your child real pocket money, at a rate you set.
The National Curriculum introduces times tables progressively:
The full Pocket Money Game covers times tables, spelling and reading across the whole KS1 and KS2 curriculum — and children earn real pocket money for every correct answer. Explore the KS2 maths games or start a free 7-day trial — no card needed.
