What order should children learn the times tables in?

A common order is: 1, 2, 10, 5 first (they have simple patterns), then 4 (double the 2s) and 3, then 6 and 9 (which have helpful tricks), then 8, and finally 7, 11, and 12. By the time a child reaches the 7s, most of those facts are already familiar from earlier tables.

What is the trick for the 9 times table?

Two tricks: (1) The digits of every answer up to 9×10 add up to 9 (18, 27, 36...). (2) The finger trick: hold up both hands, fold down the finger you're multiplying by - the fingers to the left are the tens and the fingers to the right are the ones. For 9×4, fold the 4th finger: 3 fingers left, 6 right = 36.

Can I print these times tables for my classroom?

Yes - use the Print button on the page (or Ctrl/Cmd+P). The page prints a clean, ink-friendly layout with the multiplication chart and all twelve tables, without menus or the practice quiz.

1 × 7	7
1 × 8	8
1 × 9	9
1 × 10	10
1 × 11	11
1 × 12	12

💡 Anything times 1 stays the same. The easiest table of all — the answer is always the number itself.

2 Times Table

2 × 1	2
2 × 2	4
2 × 3	6
2 × 4	8
2 × 5	10
2 × 6	12
2 × 7	14
2 × 8	16
2 × 9	18
2 × 10	20
2 × 11	22
2 × 12	24

💡 Times 2 just means double the number. Every answer is even, ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

3 Times Table

3 × 1	3
3 × 2	6
3 × 3	9
3 × 4	12
3 × 5	15
3 × 6	18
3 × 7	21
3 × 8	24
3 × 9	27
3 × 10	30
3 × 11	33
3 × 12	36

💡 The digits of every answer add up to 3, 6, or 9 — for 24, 2+4=6. Count up in 3s on your fingers to check yourself.

4 Times Table

4 × 1	4
4 × 2	8

4 × 8	32
4 × 9	36
4 × 10	40
4 × 11	44
4 × 12	48

💡 Double the number, then double it again. 4×7? Double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28.

5 Times Table

5 × 1	5
5 × 2	10
5 × 3	15
5 × 4	20

5 × 7	35
5 × 8	40
5 × 9	45
5 × 10	50
5 × 11	55
5 × 12	60

💡 Every answer ends in 5 or 0. It's also exactly half of the 10 times table — 5×8 is half of 10×8=80, so 40.

6 Times Table

6 × 1	6
6 × 2	12
6 × 3	18
6 × 4	24
6 × 5	30
6 × 6	36
6 × 7	42
6 × 8	48
6 × 9	54
6 × 10	60
6 × 11	66
6 × 12	72

💡 6 times an even number ends in that same number: 6×2=12, 6×4=24, 6×6=36, 6×8=48. And 6× is just 5× plus one more.

7 Times Table

7 × 1	7
7 × 2	14
7 × 3	21
7 × 4	28
7 × 5	35
7 × 6	42
7 × 7	49
7 × 8	56
7 × 9	63
7 × 10	70
7 × 11	77
7 × 12	84

💡 The famous 'hard one' — but almost every fact already lives in an easier table. The only brand-new fact is 7×7=49. For 7×8=56, remember the digits count up: 5, 6, 7, 8.

8 Times Table

8 × 1	8
8 × 2	16
8 × 3	24
8 × 4	32
8 × 5	40
8 × 6	48
8 × 7	56
8 × 8	64
8 × 9	72
8 × 10	80
8 × 11	88
8 × 12	96

💡 Double three times: 8×6? 12, 24, 48. Or do ×10 and subtract double: 8×7 = 70−14 = 56.

9 Times Table

9 × 1	9
9 × 2	18
9 × 3	27
9 × 4	36
9 × 5	45
9 × 6	54
9 × 7	63
9 × 8	72
9 × 9	81
9 × 10	90
9 × 11	99
9 × 12	108

💡 The digits of every answer add to 9 (18, 27, 36…). Or use the finger trick: fold down the finger you're multiplying by — fingers to the left are tens, to the right are ones.

10 Times Table

10 × 1	10
10 × 2	20
10 × 3	30
10 × 4	40
10 × 5	50
10 × 6	60
10 × 7	70
10 × 8	80
10 × 9	90
10 × 10	100
10 × 11	110
10 × 12	120

💡 Just add a zero: 10×7=70. The pattern children usually learn first.

11 Times Table

11 × 1	11
11 × 2	22
11 × 3	33
11 × 4	44
11 × 5	55
11 × 6	66
11 × 7	77
11 × 8	88
11 × 9	99
11 × 10	110
11 × 11	121
11 × 12	132

💡 Up to ×9, repeat the digit: 11×4=44. After that: 11×11=121, 11×12=132.

12 Times Table

12 × 1	12
12 × 2	24
12 × 3	36
12 × 4	48
12 × 5	60
12 × 6	72
12 × 7	84
12 × 8	96
12 × 9	108
12 × 10	120
12 × 11	132
12 × 12	144

💡 Split it into ×10 plus ×2: 12×6 = 60+12 = 72. Handy for hours, dozens, and clocks.

How to Learn the Times Tables

Times tables stick best when they're learned in a smart order, little and often. Start with the patterns (1s, 2s, 10s, 5s), build on them (4s are double the 2s, 6s are the 5s plus one more), use the tricks for 9s and 11s, and save the 7s for last — by then most of the 7s facts are already familiar from the other tables. Five minutes of practice a day beats an hour once a week; try the practice quiz above with one table at a time, then switch to Mixed once it feels easy.

Why the 7 Times Table Feels Hard

Seven is the only number from 1 to 10 with no obvious pattern — it's odd, it's prime, and its answers don't rhyme or repeat. But here's the secret: multiplication works both ways, so 7×2 is the same as 2×7, which lives in the easy 2 times table. Once a child knows the 2s, 5s, and 10s, the 7 times table only contains a handful of genuinely new facts — and only one, 7×7=49, that appears in no other table up to 10. Teach 7×8=56 with "5, 6, 7, 8" and the hardest table suddenly gets much smaller.

For Teachers

The Print button gives you a clean, ink-friendly sheet with the multiplication chart and all twelve tables — handy for handouts, homework folders, and classroom walls. Pair the practice quiz with our classroom timer for quick-fire tables races, or use the random name picker to choose who answers next. For practicing the facts backwards, try the multiplication grid game — a number spins in and players race to tap a square that makes it.

FAQ

What is the 7 times table?

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84. See the 7 times table section above for the trick that makes it easier.

What order should times tables be learned in?

A proven order: 1, 2, 10, 5 → 4, 3 → 6, 9 → 8 → 7, 11, 12. Each step reuses facts from the previous ones.

Is there a trick for the 9 times table?

Yes, two: the digits of every answer add up to 9, and the finger trick — fold down the finger you're multiplying by, then read tens and ones from the fingers either side.

Can I print these tables?

Yes — the Print button (or Ctrl/Cmd+P) produces a clean layout without menus or the quiz.
