Patterns that cut the work

  • ×2: double it. ×5: half of ×10. ×10: add a zero.
  • ×9: the digits of the answer add to 9 (9 × 7 = 63, 6 + 3 = 9).
  • ×11 (up to 9): repeat the digit (11 × 6 = 66).
  • ×4: double twice. ×8: double three times.
  • The table is symmetric: learn the half above the diagonal only.

Build any line with skip counting

Each line adds the same number again. The times tables generator prints any table up to 30 lines.

    Each line is the previous answer plus 7. Skip-counting by 7 gives the same list.

A practice routine

Five minutes a day beats an hour once a week. Cover the answers, say the fact aloud, check, and revisit the ones you missed. Mix the order so you learn facts, not a chant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the hardest times table?

Most learners find 6, 7 and 8 hardest, especially 6 × 7, 7 × 8 and 6 × 8.

Should I learn beyond 12?

Knowing 13 to 20 helps, but understanding place value and the distributive property (14 × 6 = 10 × 6 + 4 × 6) is more useful.
