Here's a game I built recently to help my six-year-old learn his times tables.

To make it even better, I'd make one-click triggers, so he clicks on the answer and it immediately tells him the answer (less clicking, more interaction).- DavidTait8 years agoSuper HeroThanks Mackenzie, I appreciate your suggestion.
Personally, I prefer to have a submit button as it gives young learners the opportunity to double-check their selection. We've all selected the wrong answer by accident before and I think this method helps minimise the chance of that happening.
I'd most likely use one-click triggers on an activity where I was checking to see if a learner was paying attention. Depending on context, I think I'd also limit it's use to older learners too.
