One of the most fun times tables teaching & learning iPad apps available, Times Tables Showdown HD, helps children (and parents) to learn, practice and master multiplication in this fast-paced, quick-on-the-draw game. With 12 testing levels (1x to 12x) this is a ‘quick-fire’ app to test each times table. E.g. ? x 4 = 12, 9 x ? = 81, 12 x 11 = ? or ? x ? = 36. You can review and practice your answers after you play even if you get the answer wrong.

1 Player Game
Can you take on 'Times Tables' Tex’, one of the meanest cowboys in town? You’ll be playing for our local hero, Charlie ‘Abacus’ Beads.

Watch the questions at the top of the screen. Choose your answer to shoot your tomato gun. If you are correct, then you’ll give Tex a faceful of tomato. If you are wrong, it’ll be you that’s tasting the tomato. You only have 10 seconds to answer before Tex shoots (he’s a bit of a cheat!).

There are 10 questions in each round and each correct answer wins you a star. Get 8 stars to beat Tex and make your own cool Sheriff’s poster to share with your friends and family. If you get hit three times, it’s game over.

2 Player Game
Can you beat your friends or family in this 2 player, quick draw game? Choose the cowboy you each want to play for. Will you be Jimmy ‘ Fast Fingers’ Jones, or Charlie ‘Abacus’ Beads? It’s not just about your math, it’s about your reaction time too.

Make your own Math Sheriff poster!
Each question you get right earns you a star on your Math Creek Sheriff’s poster. If you beat Tex, you’ll be able to add your photo or choose one of our cowboy characters. You can add your name, cowboy hats, beards. moustaches and stars to your photo, and make it look old fashioned with our 4 photo effects. Then, share your success with your friends and family.
