Equal Groups
Look at the groups of colourful things and type the multiplication. 4 groups of 3 = 4 × 3 = 12. Pick a times table to start.
The 1, 11 and 12 times tables aren't here. 1 group of N is trivial; 11 or 12 groups gets cluttered on small screens.
How Equal Groups works
Pick a table
Choose how many groups (2-10) or mix them all up.
Look and count
The card shows groups of colourful things. Count the groups, count items in each, multiply. Type all three numbers into the equation.

Why Equal Groups matters
Before a child memorises 3 × 4 = 12, they need to understand what it means: three groups of four things added together. Equal Groups is the visual model that teachers use to introduce multiplication, and it's how multiplication first appears in most curricula (grades 2-3). Once the picture is solid, the purely-symbolic drills (Type the Answer, Missing Factor) make sense on top of it.
The peek-style cousin lives at See the Groups under Quick Practice. Use that one first if your child is brand new to multiplication. Come back here when they're ready to type the answer.
Tips for parents
Read it out loud
"Four groups of three apples - that's twelve apples in total." Saying it cements the concept.
Mind both inputs
The first two boxes test counting (how many groups, how many in each). The third tests arithmetic. All three need to be right.
Try the reverse
After they see 4 × 3 = 12, ask what 3 × 4 would look like. Same answer, different picture (that's the commutative property).
