A powerful learning resource

What makes FunKey Maths Times Table Cards different?

Four colorful cards with numbers 8, 16, 32, and 64, with patterned backgrounds in shades of green, blue, and red.

Children don’t struggle with times tables because they’re “bad at maths”.

They struggle because traditional approaches rely heavily on memorization under time pressure, which doesn’t suit many learners.

The FunKey Maths approach is different.

✔ Patterns before memory

Children can SEE how numbers connect, and aren’t just memorizing isolated facts.

✔ Multiple ways in

The cards support visual, verbal, and kinesthetic learning all at the same time - great for everyone!

✔ Low pressure, high engagement

The cards focus attention and games remove fear, allowing children to practise without realising how much learning is happening.

✔ Inclusive by design

The visual designs support lower-attaining pupils, building confidence and participation. Children who have previously not seen the connections start to retain facts.

✔ Proven in real classrooms

Teachers and parents consistently report improved confidence, fluency, and enjoyment.

“This is the first resource that’s really stuck with my class.”

“My child stopped dreading times tables.”

“Even my least confident pupils joined in.”

FunKey Maths doesn’t replace teaching — it supports it, making practice meaningful and enjoyable.

Seeing the connections!

From the outset, the learning is deeper and richer. Children SEE how facts are linked. Build understanding that support long-term recall.

Children explore all the connections between a product and its factors simultaneously, not in artificial silos!

Colours and patterns

  • Each times table has its own colour and pattern. 

  • Colours help children remember times table facts.

  • The background pattern helps children who do not see colour well.
