    Nice job. I think it would be even better if there were some kind of visual reward for getting an answer correct or not. I tried Quick Play, and I had to fill in every single cell and then hit Submit before I could see what I got right or wrong.

    Kids really like that kind of visual feedback (confetti or something similar).

    Years ago I wrote a little edutainment game called "Aladdin's Mathemagical Flying Carpet" to help teach my younger siblings the multiplication tables which you might also like. It takes a much more gamified approach.

      Thanks for the feedback! I thought so too, but I was concerned kids would demotivate if they didn't get it right as they went, or quit half-way through, and tried to mimic the real scenario of a teacher marking it in the end. But it's a good shout, I will give it some thought.

      Thanks for sharing your game, I'll try it out!
