I reached out to our technology and math specialists for ideas to practice multiplication facts at home. Below is the communication I had and the sites and resources recommended...
* Mr. Manolis
The best app for fact practice that I’ve found is QuickMath: http://www.getshinythings.com/quickmath The problem is that it is only available for iOS devices; no android version. Rocket Math also has an iOs app. Not sure of quality Android apps- here is an article reviewing possible apps: http://www.parents.com/kids/education/math-and-science/best-math-apps-for-kids/

Yes... I like QuickMath a lot, too. If they need something web-based, this site is good: IXL Learning. You can choose by grade level and subject, then by specific topic. Here's the link to the 4th grade math page. https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-4 I like that there is immediately feedback, and an explanation if you get the answer wrong. However, I'm not sure how long you can use the site for free. I see a $9.99 fee under the membership tab, but I was able to use the site without paying anything Not sure if you get to use it for awhile and then it asks you to pay, or what. I haven't had time to figure that out yet!

XtraMath is also a good website. Parents can set up accounts for their kids.
* Ms. Sawtell
I use www.fun4thebrain.com to get the multiplication quizzes and there are more quizzes, worksheets, activities, and games available for students' use.
