How to Learn Times Tables

Multiplication becomes easier when you connect new facts to patterns and multiplication facts you already know.

2×

Double the number

Multiplying by 2 simply means doubling.

7 × 2 = 14
5×

Look for 0 or 5

Multiples of 5 always end in either 0 or 5.

7 × 5 = 35
10×

Use place value

Multiplying a whole number by 10 adds a zero.

7 × 10 = 70
×2
Use facts you already know

If you know that 4 × 7 = 28, double 28 to find 8 × 7 = 56.

Doubling, skip counting and nearby multiplication facts can help you calculate unfamiliar answers. With repeated practice, the goal is to move from calculating each answer to recalling it directly.

Recommended order

Which Times Tables Should You Learn First?

There is no single required order, but starting with tables that contain simple patterns can make later multiplication facts easier.

1
Start with 1, 2, 5 and 10

Learn simple doubling, ending and place-value patterns.

2
Move to 3 and 4

Build on skip counting and repeated doubling.

3
Practice 6, 8 and 9

Connect these tables to multiplication facts you already know.

4
Spend extra time on 7

Break difficult facts into smaller familiar calculations.

5
Finish with 11 and 12

Use familiar patterns and combinations of earlier tables.

Quick answers

Times Tables Questions

What are times tables?

Times tables are lists of multiplication facts for a particular number. For example, the 4 times table includes 4 × 1 = 4, 4 × 2 = 8 and 4 × 3 = 12.

Which times tables should I learn?

The standard multiplication tables usually run from 1 through 12. They provide a foundation for mental arithmetic, division, fractions and later maths.

What is the easiest times table to learn?

The 1, 2, 5 and 10 times tables are useful starting points because they contain simple and predictable patterns.

What is usually the hardest times table?

Learners often find facts in the 7 and 8 times tables more challenging because they have fewer obvious digit patterns.

What is 12 × 12?

12 × 12 = 144. It is the largest fact in the standard 1-to-12 multiplication table.

How can I memorize times tables faster?

Learn the patterns behind each table, practice regularly, revisit facts you get wrong and gradually move from calculating answers to recalling them directly.

What is the difference between a times table and a multiplication chart?

A times table focuses on multiples of one number. A multiplication chart combines multiple tables in a grid and shows the product where two factors intersect.
