An Amazing, FREE Multiplication Facts Video Game!

Timez Attack is an unbelievable, new multiplication tables game. You have to see it to believe it!! If you know of a student that is struggling with learning the multiplication tables, or you just want to offer some variety…check this out! I think it is pretty neat.

I showed my third grade students this game today and they instantly were engaged and wanted to play. We have a video projector hooked up to the computer so the screen is huge. I had one student demo the game (he learned instantly on the spot) and all the kids were cheering out the multiplication facts, helping him defeat the number troll that is part of the game.

I encouraged the students to download the free version at home as another way of practing. The great thing about the game is that the free version works on both Mac and PC computers and teaches multiplication tables 1 - 12! Click here to learn more about the game!

Stay tuned for more tips and resources soon!
