  • Games can be a useful way to develop your maths skills. The following apps are recommended:

    Apps

    Elevate (Literacy and Numeracy)

    Mr Thorne's Maths Universe - this is a paid app, designed for school student use, but it is one of the best I've seen for multiplication and division.

    MultiFlow - for practising multiplication. More 'grown up' than Mr Thorne, but higher pressure games - good for consolidating more advanced skills.

    DivisionFlow - as above, for division.

    FlowPlus - same series, for addition

      Very simple site that generates random multiplication questions and answers. You don't type the answer in; this is just for mental calculations.

      NB: Works better on mobile and touchscreen devices.
