How to use it
- Find the first number in the left column and the second along the top.
- Follow the row and column until they meet; that square is the answer.
- Download the PDF, or switch to a blank chart for practice.
Good to know
- The chart is symmetrical: 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 are the same square, so there are only 78 facts to learn up to 12 × 12, not 144.
- Learn the easy tables first: ×1, ×2, ×5 and ×10. Then ×3, ×4, ×9 and ×11.
- The squares (1, 4, 9, 16…) run diagonally from corner to corner.
- Filling in a blank chart from memory is a quick weekly check of which facts are solid.
Questions
How do you read a multiplication chart?
Find one factor in the left column and the other in the top row. The square where that row and column meet is the product.
Why do multiplication charts go to 12?
Tradition from measurement (12 inches in a foot, 12 in a dozen). Many US schools now expect fluency to 10 × 10 by the end of 3rd grade and use 12 × 12 for extra practice.
What is the fastest way to learn the times tables?
A few minutes of daily practice with the facts you don't know yet, using tricks like doubling (×4 is double ×2) and patterns (×9 digits add to 9).
