Times Table Chart (Multiplication Chart 1-12)

A free, interactive times table chart for learning the times tables from 1 to 12. Tap any square to light up its row and column, view one table at a time as a list, fill in a blank multiplication chart to test yourself, or print a clean black-and-white multiplication table for the fridge or classroom wall.

How to play Times Table Chart

• The number at the top of each column and the start of each row are the two numbers being multiplied. The square where a row and column meet holds their product: row 7 and column 8 meet at 56.
• Tap any square to highlight its row and column and see the fact written out, such as 7 × 8 = 56. Tap a number in the top row or left column to light up that whole times table.
• Use Chart size to switch between a 10 × 10, 12 × 12, 15 × 15 or 20 × 20 multiplication chart.
• Choose Single table to see one times table as a list, for example the 7 times table from 7 × 1 to 7 × 12. Tap a number to switch tables.
• Choose Fill the chart to practice. Answers are hidden (all of them, half, or just a few); type each product and press Check. Right answers turn green, ones to fix turn red. Your answers are saved, so you can finish later.
• Print gives a clean black-on-white chart. In practice mode it prints a blank chart to fill in by hand; in single-table view it prints that one table.

Controls

• Tap or click a square to highlight it. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move around the chart and Esc to clear.
• In practice mode, type a number and press Enter to jump to the next empty square.
• In single-table view, the arrow keys step to the previous or next table.

Tips

• Learn the easy tables first: 1, 2, 5 and 10. Then the chart is already more than half full.
• Every fact appears twice on the chart: 3 × 8 and 8 × 3 are both 24. Learn one and you know the other, which halves the work.
• The squares on the diagonal (1, 4, 9, 16, 25…) are the square numbers. They are worth knowing by heart.
• For the 9 times table, the digits of each answer add up to 9 (18, 27, 36…), and the tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by.
• For the 11 times table up to 11 × 9, just repeat the digit: 11 × 4 = 44.

FAQ

How do you memorise the times tables quickly?

Little and often works best: five to ten minutes a day beats one long session. Start with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, then 3, 4 and 11, and leave 6, 7, 8 and 12 for last. Say each table out loud, then use Fill the chart to test yourself and keep practicing the squares you miss. Remember that 6 × 7 and 7 × 6 are the same fact, so there are only 78 different facts in a 12 × 12 multiplication chart.

What are the tricks for the 9 times table?

Two quick ones. First, the digits of every answer up to 9 × 10 add up to 9: 18, 27, 36, 45. Second, the tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by, so 9 × 7 starts with 6, and the ones digit makes the total 9: 63. You can also multiply by 10 and take away one lot: 9 × 8 = 80 − 8 = 72. The finger trick works too: hold up ten fingers, fold down the 7th, and you see 6 fingers on the left and 3 on the right.

Can I print this multiplication chart?

Yes. Press Print for a free printable times table chart in clean black and white, at 10 × 10, 12 × 12, 15 × 15 or 20 × 20. Switch to Fill the chart first to print a blank multiplication chart worksheet, or to Single table to print one table, such as the 7 times table, in large print.

How do you read a times table chart?

Find the first number in the left column and the second number in the top row, then follow the row across and the column down until they meet. That square is the answer. Want a quiz instead? Try the times tables game.
