This free software is a simple program presenting 20 questions on the times table of the pupil's choice. A certificate can be printed by the software indicating the child's name, the date and the time (in seconds) it took for the child to answer the twenty questions.
It is easy for the teacher to monitor progress by keeping a record of times taken by a particular child over a period of time.
