Building Tafel Trainer #3: How we designed an adaptive algorithm for learning multiplication facts

Learning multiplication facts usually involves transitioning through different solution strategies, going from primarily slow and error-prone computational methods to fast and accurate direct retrieval. We designed the Tafel Trainer adaptive learning system with the aim of supporting learners on this path. The three levels break the learning task down into achievable chunks. They are designed to encourage a shift towards more efficient strategies, helping learners reach fluent mastery through adaptive spaced practice.
