3x3 Eggs
Play now 3x3 Eggs times tables
3x3 Eggs asks multiplication facts while you hatch eggs. The UK page points at the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check and says the game suits Years 2 to 6. The US page says grades 2 to 4. The NZ page says Years 4 to 6. I keep all three.
What the game does with a wrong answer
The UK page says facts you answer wrongly keep coming back until they are secure, and that the game notices which facts you find hard and asks those more often. I do not have a published time limit for a question inside 3x3 Eggs, so I am not comparing it to a six-second clock as if the game used one.
Year 4 check, side by side
GOV.UK says the Multiplication Tables Check in England is statutory for Year 4. It is 25 questions, 6 seconds each, with 3 seconds between questions. After 6 seconds the answer is accepted. 3x3 Eggs covers facts up to 12×12, which is the same fact range, and the official pages do not call the game a mock check.
| Item | Year 4 check | 3x3 Eggs |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | 25 | One question per egg; no published round length |
| Time | 6 seconds, then the answer locks | No published limit |
| A miss | Cannot be edited after 6 seconds | That fact returns more often |
| Who it is for | Year 4 in England | UK Years 2–6; US grades 2–4; NZ Years 4–6 |
Three ways I would use it in class
These are my suggestions, not a published lesson plan. A five-minute start of the day, a Friday reward round, or a short practice at home all fit a browser game that needs no install.

Questions
Which times tables are in 3x3 Eggs?
The official pages use the 1 through 12 tables.
Is 3x3 Eggs the Year 4 check?
No. It practices the same fact range. The check’s timing rules are separate.
Which grade is it for?
UK Years 2–6, US grades 2–4, NZ Years 4–6. The three pages do not agree, so I list them all.
