Standards alignment
Every state expects a third-grader to know their multiplication facts from memory — not worked out, recalled. That single expectation is the floor everything after Grade 3 stands on: long division, fractions, multi-digit multiplication, and eventually algebra all assume the facts are already automatic, so a kid isn't spending working memory re-deriving 7 × 8 while trying to learn the new thing on top of it.
Times Machine's fluency timer — correct recall in under about four seconds — is built directly around that expectation, and its levels run through 15 × 15, past every standard's floor. Below is exactly which standard, in which state or country, that maps to — with a source link for each one, not a marketing claim.
- Common Core 3.OA.C.7
- Texas TEKS 3.4F
- Florida B.E.S.T. MA.3.NSO.2.4

Questions parents ask
- Does Times Machine cover Common Core?
- Yes. Times Machine's 15×15 fact levels fully cover CCSS-M 3.OA.C.7 — the standard that expects every U.S. third-grader to know all one-digit multiplication products from memory — plus the surrounding 3.OA.A.1, 3.OA.A.4, 4.OA.A.1, and the multi-digit standards (4.NBT.B.5, 5.NBT.B.5) that assume those facts are already automatic.
- Which Texas TEKS standard does this align to?
- TEKS 3.4F: "recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity." Times Machine's fluency timer (recall under about four seconds) is built around exactly that automaticity bar, and its 15×15 levels go beyond the 10×10 floor.
- What grade level is multiplication fluency expected by?
- Every U.S. state standard we found — Common Core and each state's own framework alike — expects fluent, from-memory multiplication recall by the end of Grade 3, with Grades 4–5 standards (multi-digit multiplication, long division) assuming those facts are already automatic rather than calculated.
- Does it cover 12×12 like the UK Multiplication Tables Check?
- Times Machine's levels run through 15×15 — a superset of the UK's statutory Year 4 requirement to recall tables up to 12 × 12, and of every U.S. state's 10×10 or 12×12 ceiling.
- Are squares and cubes tied to a standard too?
- Yes, though later: CCSS-M 6.EE.A.1 (writing whole-number exponents like 5² and 3³) and 8.EE.A.2 (square and cube roots of perfect squares/cubes) are the standards that make the notation matter. Times Machine's squares (1²–20²) and cubes (1³–20³) levels go well beyond what any state standard requires at those grades — that range is enrichment, not a standard's floor.
