Many apps also exist for smart phones and tablets. Many of these are free to download. Search in the App store or on Google Play. Ibooks can also be helpful such as Carol Vorderman Maths Made Easy Times Tables.
Songs can be accessed on Mathletics (Times Tables Toons) or can be downloaded at a cost. For example Times Tables Challenge by Kidzone, available through Amazon mp3.
These online resources are good but are usually not enough in themselves for learning multiplication tables off by heart. They are best suited for consolidating times table knowledge and for increasing the speed of recall.
