The short answer
Set the times tables test for your class: 25 facts from the 2 to 12 tables, 6 seconds each, a new set for every pupil and every sitting. Pupils join with a class code, a seat number and a PIN, with no accounts, and you see which facts the class missed on a grid of the 2 to 12 tables.
How to set it up
- Sign in with Google and create a class with as many seats as you have pupils.
- Add the Times Tables Test and choose the facts (multiplication or division) and the mode (timed, untimed or a 2-minute sprint).
- Print the join cards: a QR code, the class code, a seat number and that seat’s PIN on each.
- Press Open for joining at the start of the lesson, or give the task a due date and keep it open until then for homework.
- Watch the board fill seat by seat, then open the grid of missed facts or download the CSV.
What you see
- A grid of missed facts: for each fact, the share of seats that missed it in their latest set, never which pupil.
- The CSV: every send, one row each, with the seat, your name for it from this device, the score and a
missed_factscell such as “7×8 6×9”. - The class over time: the median and the middle half of the class each week, from each seat’s second set on.
- The task list: pupils see the task, its due date and whether their seat has sent it.
A 10-minute lesson plan
- Minutes 0–2. Open the class for joining. Pupils scan their card, choose the task and type their PIN.
- Minutes 2–5. A first set, sent like any other: each pupil presses Send to my teacher. It is the warm-up, so it never counts in any trend.
- Minutes 5–8. The real set: 25 facts, 6 seconds each, sent the same way. Then open the grid of missed facts and pick the three facts most of the class missed.
- Minutes 8–10. Teach one way to work out each of the three. Pupils press Practise these again on their own result: a short untimed set of just the facts they missed, which is never sent.
- After the lesson. Set the same task again with a due date of Friday, open until then, so it can be done at home.
A weekly routine
One short timed set at the start of a lesson, once a week, is enough to see the class’s weeks take shape. Because every sitting is a new set of the same design, this week’s set and next week’s can be compared; the first one each pupil does is a warm-up and is never counted.
What pupils see
One question at a time, a number pad and a thin bar for the 6 seconds. At the end: “You got 19 out of 25.”, the facts to practise again, and a button to practise just those. Nobody sees anyone else’s result, and there is no leaderboard.

Planned price: $4.99 a month billed yearly ($59.88), or $9.99 month to month. Class Pro is a free beta for now: billing would start only after at least 30 days’ notice in your classes page, and only if you choose to pay then. Without it you can still set the same facts test again and again: every sitting is a new set.
Questions teachers ask
Is this the multiplication tables check?
No. It is not the official check. It uses the same 25-question, 6-second format as England’s Year 4 check, so pupils can get used to the rhythm, but it is not connected with it.
Can every pupil get a different set?
Yes. Each sitting is drawn for that seat and that attempt, with the same mix of easier and harder facts, and never both 7×8 and 8×7. Your browser re-draws the same set to build the grid, so the questions are never sent.
Can pupils do it at home?
Yes: give the task a due date and tick Open until the due date. After that day a send is refused until you set a later one.
Is there a version with no clock?
Yes: choose Untimed when you add it, or point pupils to multiplication practice, where they pick their own tables.
Does it rank pupils?
No. Seats are always in seat order, and the grid shows shares of the class, never names.
