Times tables

Start here

The 2s, 5s and 10s have the clearest patterns. Learn them first and you already know a third of the chart. Then the 3s and 4s.

• ×22 times table
• ×55 times table
• ×1010 times table
• ×33 times table
• ×44 times table

Next: the middle tables

Once 2–5 and 10 are solid, the 6s to 9s are mostly facts you’ve already seen the other way round (6 × 3 = 3 × 6). The 11s are quick (11, 22, 33…), and the 12s finish the classic chart.

• ×66 times table
• ×77 times table
• ×88 times table
• ×99 times table
• ×1111 times table
• ×1212 times table

Challenge tables

Bigger tables are built from smaller ones: 13 = 10 + 3, 14 = 7 doubled, 25 = quarters of 100.

• ×1313 times table
• ×1414 times table
• ×1515 times table
• ×1616 times table
• ×1818 times table
• ×2020 times table
• ×2525 times table
• ×3030 times table

A good order to learn them

1. 2, 5 and 10: doubling, the clock, and adding a zero.
2. 3 and 4: 4 is 2 doubled; 3 is 2 plus one more.
3. 6, 7, 8 and 9: use the tricks on each page. Only a handful of facts are new.
4. 11 and 12: the 11s repeat the digit up to 99; split 12 into 10 and 2 (12 × 7 = 70 + 14).
5. 13 and up: the same split into tens and ones (13 × 7 = 70 + 21).
