I ran into the same problem so I wrote a web page html code to give practice in
a simple way yet with feedback. It is
http://www.geocities.com/multiplicationfacts
Also, I know a GED Special Ed teacher who has her students make a times table
chart (grid) every day. It helps them learn or review them and they get pretty
fast at it. On the GED they are allowed to create the chart on their scratch
paper if they want, then use it on the test.
Good luck,
Brett
PS- Are you still there? It was 2004 when you wrote your question.
What is the web going to look like in 200 years. Will this post still be
online?
