Squeebles Multiplication $.99 *RECOMMENDED APP

In the Squeebles Times Tables 2 app, children practice multiplication in six different game modes. One favorite mode, besides the 1-12 Tables, is Tricky Tables. These are the fact questions that kids got wrong in the Times Tables mode. Here, they review and practice those tricky facts. They will love it! Squeebles Times Tables 2 knows that kids love rewards and feedback, and there’s plenty of both. Like the Spelling app, the gist is to rescue the Squeebles from the clutches of the evil Maths Monster.

It's fun because when kids answer a question right, it ticks off the Math Monster and he says “grrr”.
