How to read the 1 to 20 chart

  1. Find the first number in the left-hand column.
  2. Find the second number along the top row.
  3. Follow the row across and the column down. For 14 × 16, row 14 meets column 16 at 224.

The darker line after 10 splits the chart into four blocks. The top-left block is the 1–10 chart; everything to the right of it or below it uses at least one number from 11 to 20.

Strategies for 11 to 20

  • Split off the ten. 17 × 6 = 10 × 6 + 7 × 6 = 60 + 42 = 102. Every row from 11 to 19 works this way, using a fact from the 1–9 chart.
  • Double for 20. 20 × 8 is 10 × 8 doubled: 80 + 80 = 160.
  • Half of 30 for 15. 15 × 6 is half of 30 × 6: 180 ÷ 2 = 90. Useful for quarter hours: 15 × 4 = 60 minutes.
  • Near squares. 15 × 15 = 225, so 15 × 16 = 225 + 15 = 240. The squares on the yellow diagonal go 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400.
  • The mirror. 18 × 4 is the same as 4 × 18, and the 4s are easier. That is why there are 210 different facts, not 400.

Questions

What does a 1 to 20 times table go up to?

It goes up to 20 × 20 = 400, the bottom-right square. The largest product in each row is that row number times 20, so row 13 ends at 260 and row 19 at 380.

How many facts are on a 20 × 20 chart?

There are 400 squares, but only 210 different facts. 7 × 16 and 16 × 7 are the same fact, so everything above the yellow diagonal repeats what is below it. The 1–12 chart has 78.

Is 1–12 enough, or should you learn up to 20?

Most school curriculums stop at 12 × 12, and that is the part to know by heart first. The 13–20 rows are worth knowing for mental math, percentages, time (15 and 20 minutes) and money, but you can work them out from facts you already know (see the strategies below), so they are more about method than memory.

How do I print the chart on one page?

Use the PDF buttons: there is a US Letter and an A4 version of the filled chart and of the blank grid. Print at 100% (actual size). Or use the Print button, which prints just the chart from this page.

Does the practice grid save my answers?

No. There is no account, and nothing you type is sent anywhere: reload the page and it starts fresh. Site-wide analytics are described in the privacy policy.
