Patterns that make times tables easier
- × 2: double the number. Every answer is even.
- × 4: double it, then double again. 4 × 7 = 14 doubled = 28.
- × 5: answers end in 0 or 5, and are half of × 10. 5 × 8 = 80 ÷ 2 = 40.
- × 9: the digits of 9 × n (n ≤ 10) add up to 9, and the tens digit is n − 1. 9 × 6 = 54.
- × 10: put a zero on the end. 10 × 12 = 120.
- × 11: for 1–9, repeat the digit: 11 × 4 = 44. For 11 × 12, add 120 + 12 = 132.
- × 12: multiply by 10 and by 2, then add. 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84.
- Swap the order: 8 × 3 is the same as 3 × 8, so learning one fact gives you two. That halves the number of facts in a 12 × 12 chart to 78.
Square numbers on the diagonal
The highlighted diagonal of the chart contains the square numbers, where a number is multiplied by itself. Learning them is a quick way to anchor the rest of the chart:
| n | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n² | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 | 25 | 36 | 49 | 64 | 81 | 100 | 121 | 144 |
A handy trick uses the squares: (n − 1) × (n + 1) = n² − 1. For example 7 × 9 = 8² − 1 = 63.
Frequently asked questions
How do you read a multiplication chart?
Find the first number in the left column and the second number in the top row. The answer is where that row and column meet. For example, row 7 and column 8 meet at 56, so 7 × 8 = 56.
Why does the chart look the same on both sides of the diagonal?
Multiplication is commutative, so a × b = b × a. The value at row 4, column 9 is the same as at row 9, column 4. The diagonal holds the square numbers 1, 4, 9, 16 and so on.
Which times tables should children learn first?
Most teachers start with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables because they follow easy patterns, then move on to 3, 4 and 11, and finish with 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12. Knowing all facts up to 12 × 12 is a common goal by age 9 or 10.
How do I print a multiplication table on one page?
Press Print (A4). Only the chart is printed, scaled to the width of an A4 page. A 12 × 12 chart prints large and clear, and charts up to 30 × 30 use a smaller font so they still fit.
How does practice mode work?
It hides a chosen share of the cells at random. Type the missing products, press Enter to move to the next blank and press Check answers. Correct cells turn green, wrong ones red, and Show answers fills in the rest.
What are some tricks for the 9 times table?
For 9 × n up to 10, the tens digit is n − 1 and the two digits add up to 9. For example 9 × 7 = 63, because 7 − 1 = 6 and 6 + 3 = 9. You can also multiply by 10 and subtract the number: 9 × 7 = 70 − 7.
