Forget Boring Multiplication Drills – Let’s Make This Easy

If you’re searching for “multiplication Quizlet,” you probably want something simple:

  • Practice times tables
  • Get quick quizzes
  • Help a kid (or yourself) stop messing up 7×8 and 6×7 forever

Quizlet is fine for basic practice… but it’s mostly just flashcards and matching games.

If you want to actually remember multiplication long-term, you need two things:

1. Active recall (forcing your brain to pull the answer from memory)

2. Spaced repetition (reviewing at smart intervals so you don’t forget)

That’s where Flashrecall comes in. It’s a flashcard app built for learning that sticks, not just cramming.

👉 Try it here (free to start):

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flashrecall-study-flashcards/id6746757085

You can use it on iPhone or iPad, and it’s super fast and modern — no clunky menus, no weird UI.

Let’s talk about how to go beyond a simple “multiplication Quizlet set” and actually master your times tables.

Quizlet vs Flashrecall For Multiplication: What’s The Difference?

Quizlet:

  • ✅ Has lots of public sets (including multiplication)
  • ✅ Simple flashcards and games
  • ❌ No built-in spaced repetition that really optimizes long-term memory
  • ❌ Harder to customize for how you or your kid learns
  • ❌ Mostly just “keep drilling until you’re bored”
  • 🔁 Automatic spaced repetition – it schedules reviews for you so you see each multiplication fact right before you’re about to forget it
  • Active recall built-in – it hides the answer and forces you to think before revealing
  • Study reminders – you get gentle nudges so practice actually happens
  • 📲 Works offline – perfect for car rides, waiting rooms, or places without Wi‑Fi
  • 🧠 Chat with the flashcard – stuck on a concept like “why does 7×8 = 56?” You can literally chat with the card to get explanations
  • 🎯 Super flexible input – type cards, snap a photo of a worksheet, import from text, even turn PDFs or YouTube explanations into flashcards

So yeah, if you just want a random public set, Quizlet works.

If you want your kid to actually know their multiplication facts cold, Flashrecall is the better move.

Step 1: Decide What You’re Actually Practicing

Before you even open an app, be clear:

  • Are you practicing 1–10 multiplication?
  • Or 1–12 (what most schools use)?
  • Or bigger numbers (for speed math / competitions)?

For most people, a good starter goal is:

> All multiplication facts from 1×1 to 12×12

In Flashrecall, you can either:

  • Create one big deck called “Multiplication 1–12”
  • Or create smaller decks like:
  • 2s and 3s
  • 4s and 5s
  • 6s, 7s, 8s (the “hard” ones)
  • 9s, 10s, 11s, 12s

Smaller decks are great for kids who get overwhelmed.

Step 2: Build Smart Multiplication Flashcards (Not Just Random Facts)

Instead of only making cards like:

> Front: 7 × 8

> Back: 56

You can use Flashrecall to build better cards that help understanding, not just memorization.

Type Cards Manually (Super Simple)

In Flashrecall, you can:

  • Tap to add a card
  • Front: `7 × 8 = ?`
  • Back: `56` + maybe a small hint like “7 groups of 8”

Do this for all the tricky facts (6×7, 7×8, 8×9, etc.).

Or Create Cards Automatically From Worksheets

Got a printed multiplication sheet?

  • Snap a photo in Flashrecall
  • Let the app extract text
  • Turn that into flashcards in seconds

Same with:

  • Text lists of multiplication facts
  • PDFs sent by a teacher
  • Even a YouTube video that explains multiplication – you can drop the link and turn the key points into cards

This is where Flashrecall really beats a standard “multiplication Quizlet” set — you don’t have to build everything by hand.

Step 3: Use Active Recall The Right Way

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

When practicing multiplication, how you use flashcards matters more than how many you do.

With Flashrecall:

1. Look at the card: `9 × 7 = ?`

2. Say the answer in your head (or out loud)

3. Then flip the card

4. Mark it:

  • “I knew it”
  • “I was unsure”
  • “I got it wrong”

The app uses those responses to adjust when you see that card again.

This is active recall + spaced repetition working together:

  • Easy facts (like 2×3) get pushed further apart
  • Hard facts (like 7×8) show up more often until they’re solid

Quizlet just lets you keep quizzing. Flashrecall actually optimizes your review schedule for you.

Step 4: Let Spaced Repetition Do The Heavy Lifting

Most people do multiplication like this:

> Cram all facts in one long session → feel tired → forget half of it next week

Spaced repetition flips that:

  • Day 1: Learn / review a bunch of facts
  • Day 2–3: Review only the ones you struggled with
  • Day 5–7: See them again just before you’re about to forget
  • Later: Facts that are easy show up less and less

Flashrecall:

  • Tracks all of this automatically
  • Sends you study reminders so you don’t forget to review
  • Works offline so kids can practice anywhere (car, plane, waiting room, etc.)

That’s the big advantage over a simple “multiplication Quizlet” session:

You’re not just doing flashcards, you’re training your memory with a system.

Step 5: Turn Real-Life Stuff Into Multiplication Practice

You don’t have to start from scratch. With Flashrecall, you can turn almost anything into cards:

1. From Text

Paste something like:

> 3×4

> 6×7

> 8×9

> 9×12

Flashrecall can turn each line into a card automatically.

2. From Worksheets (Image to Cards)

  • Take a picture of a multiplication worksheet
  • Extract the problems
  • Turn them into flashcards in a few taps

3. From Explanations (Chat With The Card)

Maybe a kid keeps asking:

> “Why is 7×8 = 56? I don’t get it.”

With Flashrecall’s chat with the flashcard feature, you can:

  • Open that card
  • Ask it to explain with groups, arrays, or number lines
  • Get a kid-friendly explanation without leaving the app

This is something Quizlet just doesn’t do — it only stores the answers, not explanations on demand.

Step 6: Make It Fun And Short (Especially For Kids)

The secret to actually sticking with multiplication practice:

> Short, consistent sessions > long, painful sessions

With Flashrecall, you can:

  • Do 5–10 minutes a day
  • Let the app choose the most important cards
  • Stop when it says you’re done for the day

Some fun ideas:

  • “Beat your past self” – see how many cards you can get right in 5 minutes
  • Parent + child challenge – both use the same deck and compare progress
  • Reward system – 10 minutes of Flashrecall = 10 minutes of screen time / game / whatever

Because the app:

  • Is fast and modern
  • Works offline
  • Reminds you when it’s time to review

…it’s way easier to build a routine than manually hunting down random Quizlet sets every time.

Step 7: Go Beyond Multiplication – Build A Full Math (Or School) System

Once multiplication is solid, you can use Flashrecall for basically everything else:

  • 🧮 Division facts (linked to multiplication facts)
  • ➕➖ Basic arithmetic word problems
  • 📚 Vocabulary for any school subject
  • 🌍 Languages (verbs, phrases, grammar rules)
  • 🧪 Science formulas
  • 🩺 Medicine, nursing, or university exams
  • 💼 Business terms or interview prep

It’s not just a “multiplication app” – it’s a complete memory system you can use for years.

And since it:

  • Has built-in active recall
  • Uses spaced repetition automatically
  • Works on both iPhone and iPad
  • Is free to start

…it’s an easy upgrade from just relying on Quizlet for everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Quizlet good for studying?

Quizlet helps with basic reviewing, but its active recall tools are limited. If you want proper spacing and strong recall practice, tools like Flashrecall automate the memory science for you so you don't forget your notes.

What's the fastest way to create flashcards?

Manually typing cards works but takes time. Many students now use AI generators that turn notes into flashcards instantly. Flashrecall does this automatically from text, images, or PDFs.

How do I start spaced repetition?

You can manually schedule your reviews, but most people use apps that automate this. Flashrecall uses built-in spaced repetition so you review cards at the perfect time.

What is active recall and how does it work?

Active recall is the process of actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing it. Flashrecall forces proper active recall by making you think before revealing answers, then uses spaced repetition to optimize your review schedule.
