The best approach is one that can respond to these differences rather than forcing every child through the same experience. That means structured progression, different ways to practise, support when needed, greater challenge when ready, and no unnecessary pressure." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does every child need to learn times tables in the same way?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. Children differ in ability, confidence, recall, pace, attention, accessibility needs, response to pressure and preferred ways of practising. A platform that assumes every child needs the same experience will work for some and fail others. A platform that adapts to these differences can support every child, including those who are confident and ready for greater challenge." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How does XTables Champions support children with different learning needs?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Through structured learning levels that build understanding before recall, different ways to learn and apply each table, Show Me How support when a child is stuck, no timers anywhere on the platform, level matching for fair multiplayer games, fact-level gap identification, and games that make practice feel like play. These features work together to support children who need more support and children who need more challenge." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is XTables Champions suitable for children with additional learning needs?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. The platform is designed to support children with a wide range of learning needs, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, maths anxiety, poor recall and accessibility needs. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. It offers a different route into multiplication that builds understanding first, reduces unnecessary pressure, and lets children engage in the way that works for them." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can XTables Champions support neurodivergent children?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. The platform offers visual models, audio support, structured progression, no timers, controlled help and different ways to practise. These features are relevant to many neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyscalculia. Because neurodivergent children have widely differing profiles, the platform offers options rather than assuming every child needs the same thing." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What if my child understands multiplication but struggles to remember times tables?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "This is common and is a retrieval problem, not an understanding problem. The platform builds understanding first, then provides varied retrieval practice through games, Show Me How support for facts that will not stick, and fact-level insight so you can see exactly which facts need work. The combination of meaning, varied practice and repeated retrieval builds recall that lasts." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What if my child hates practising times tables?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Hating times tables is often a reaction to the format, not the maths. The platform replaces worksheets with games, timers with calm pacing, penalties with Show Me How support, and drilling with choice. A child who refuses a worksheet will often play a game that uses the same multiplication facts. The learning is the same; the experience is different." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can children learn times tables with less unnecessary pressure?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. There are no timers anywhere on the platform, help is available without shame, and practice feels like play rather than a test. Reducing unnecessary pressure does not mean removing challenge. Children who enjoy competition can still play matched multiplayer games. The platform removes anxiety, not challenge." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does XTables Champions support different ways of learning?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. The platform offers visual models in the learning levels, audio and read-aloud support, Champion talking through every step, and active application through games. Each table can be approached through Learn, Apply and Play modes, so children can use the combination that works for them rather than being forced through a single route." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can confident children still be challenged on XTables Champions?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Adaptation works in both directions. Confident children move toward faster recall, harder tables and competitive play against matched opponents. Gentle support for one child does not mean less challenge for another. Both can exist in the same platform." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How can the same times tables platform work for children with very different abilities?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "By adapting to each child rather than forcing one experience. A child who needs more support gets it through visual models, Show Me How and structured progression. A child who needs more challenge gets it through harder tables, faster recall targets and matched competitive play. The platform does not lower the bar for everyone; it meets each child where they are." } } ] } ] --- [ XTables Champions Part of the ESSTA Kids family ](/Welcome) [Learn](/levels-and-progression) [Games](/GamesOverview) [All Games](/GamesOverview)[Connect Four](/connect-four)[Guess Who?](/guess-who)[Times Tables Bingo](/times-tables-bingo)[Snap!](/snap)[Play with Friends](/games/play-with-friends)[Play against Champion](/games/play-against-champion) [Every Learner](/times-tables-for-every-learner) [Adaptive Learning](/adaptive-times-tables-learning) [Schools](/ForSchools) [Lunchtime Clubs](/LunchtimeClubs)[SENCO Support](/SchoolSencoInfo)[Homework Setting](/SchoolHomeworkSetting)[Whole-Class Games](/SchoolWholeClassGames)[Level Matching](/SchoolLevelMatching) [Wellbeing](/wellbeing-and-safeguarding) [Pricing](/pricing) Log In / Sign Up Times Tables for Every Learner # Every Child Can Learn Times Tables.

What is the best way to teach times tables to different learners? Does every child need to learn times tables in the same way? How does XTables Champions support children with different learning needs? Is XTables Champions suitable for children with additional learning needs? Can XTables Champions support neurodivergent children? What if my child understands multiplication but struggles to remember times tables? What if my child hates practising times tables? Can children learn times tables with less unnecessary pressure? Does XTables Champions support different ways of learning? Can confident children still be challenged on XTables Champions? How can the same times tables platform work for children with very different abilities? ## Find the route that works for your child Every child is different. The platform adapts to those differences without lowering expectations. Start playing and find the route that is right for your child. Start playing [Our learning philosophy](/LearningPhilosophy) ## Gentle does not mean easy Supporting every learner does not mean the platform is only for children who struggle. A child who becomes anxious under pressure can have a gentler learning experience while two confident children at an appropriate matched level can still enjoy genuinely competitive play. Different experiences can exist within the same platform. **Accessible does not mean less challenging.** Adaptation works in both directions. Children who need more support get it. Children who need more challenge get that too. The platform does not lower the bar for everyone; it meets each child where they are.
