Quick start
- In "Table of", type the number you want, such as 7.
- In "Up to", choose how far to go, up to 20.
- Read the table, or cover the answers and test yourself.
Patterns that make tables easier
- ×2: double the number.
- ×4: double, then double again.
- ×5: answers end in 0 or 5, and are half of ×10.
- ×9: the digits of each answer add to 9 up to 9 × 10, such as 9 × 7 = 63 and 6 + 3 = 9.
- ×11: for single digits, repeat the digit: 11 × 6 = 66.
Swap to halve the work
Order does not matter in multiplication, so 7 × 8 is the same as 8 × 7. Once you know the 7 times table, you already know one fact from every other table.
Learning the hard ones
Most learners find 6 × 7, 7 × 8 and 8 × 8 the trickiest. Break them up: 7 × 8 = 7 × 4 × 2 = 28 × 2 = 56. Or use a known fact: 6 × 7 is one 7 more than 5 × 7, so 35 + 7 = 42.
Common questions
How far should children learn tables?
Most school curricula aim for fluency up to 10 × 10 or 12 × 12.
Can I make a table for decimals?
Yes. Type a decimal like 2.5 in Table of.
What is the full grid for?
It shows every product at once, so you can spot patterns along rows, columns and diagonals.
