Yes, I have been having a bit of a look and running the emulator to play around. Looks like I can do it.

I had the same thought as you, he wouldn't be learning the larger tables just yet. When he does longer multiplication at the moment he just uses a sheet I have printed out so he can get by with 7*9 etc.

Thanks,

If you want, consider using a saved spreadsheet app (vs program). Here is a shot of a crude sheet that generates/saves two integers, allows for a guess then feedback if correct or not. Its not pretty but its a start.

   

and here are the contents of the cells

   

I would download the Prime emulator and try it out for this, RPN and other features you care about.

Prime, 50G or other - if your child keeps messing around with it then that's a good sign!

ps - If you want to get fancy, put some algebra or CAS calculus questions in the Prime spreadsheet (or program). It can generate answers to those in real time too.
