The shaded squares down the middle are the squares (1, 4, 9 ... 144). Everything above them repeats everything below: 7 × 8 is the same fact as 8 × 7.
Each table
The order that makes them easiest
- First: 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s. They follow patterns kids already know: counting, doubling, counting by fives, adding a zero.
- Next: 3s, 4s, 9s and 11s. Each has a trick (below), and the 9s have the famous finger trick.
- Then the squares: 3 × 3, 4 × 4 ... 12 × 12. Their neighbors are one step away (7 × 8 is 7 × 7 plus 7).
- Last: 6s, 7s, 8s and 12s. By now only a handful are new: 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8, and the 12s past 12 × 5.
- Count what is left. Because 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 are one fact, the 144 squares hold just 78 facts to learn.
A trick for every table
- 2s: Times 2 is doubling: 2 × 8 is 8 + 8 = 16.
- 3s: Add 3 each time: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30.
- 4s: Double, then double again: 4 × 7 is 7 doubled (14), doubled again (28).
- 5s: Answers end in 5 or 0: odd times 5 ends in 5, even times 5 ends in 0.
- 6s: Six times an even number ends in that same digit: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48.
- 7s: The hardest table for most kids. Learn the few it has left once you know the others: 7 × 7 = 49, 7 × 8 = 56.
- 8s: Double three times: 8 × 6 is 6 → 12 → 24 → 48.
- 9s: The tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by, and the digits add up to 9: 9 × 7 = 63.
- 10s: Put a zero on the end: 10 × 7 = 70.
- 11s: Up to 11 × 9, repeat the digit: 11 × 6 = 66.
- 12s: Times 10, plus times 2: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84.
Questions people ask
At what age do kids learn their times tables?
Most US schools teach multiplication in 2nd and 3rd grade. The Common Core standards ask that by the end of 3rd grade students know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. Many schools then add the 11s and 12s.
What is the fastest way to learn times tables?
A few minutes every day, on the facts you don't know yet. Practice that brings missed facts back a few questions later, and again over the next days, works far better than reading the chart over and over.
How many times table facts are there from 1 to 12?
The chart has 144 squares, but 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 are the same fact, so there are 78 different facts. Take away the 1s and 10s and only about 55 need real practice.
What does fluent mean for multiplication facts?
Knowing the answer right away, without counting up. Many teachers use about three seconds per fact as the mark. Math Facts counts a fact as fluent once you get it right that fast several times.
