Multiplication table
Pick a size, tap any product to highlight its row and column, and print the chart for the classroom or the fridge. Switch to practice mode for ten random questions.

How to use it
- Choose the size of the table: 1–10, 1–12, 1–15 or 1–20.
- In Table mode, tap any product. Its row and column are highlighted and the multiplication shows above the table. Use Print the table for a paper copy.
- In Practice mode, press Start the quiz, type each answer and press Check, then Next. You get a score after ten questions.
How it works
The product in row a and column b is a × b. Because multiplication is commutative, the table is symmetrical: the cell for 6 × 9 equals the one for 9 × 6, so you only need to learn about half of the facts.
Worked example
To find 12 × 7, tap the cell in row 12, column 7. It shows 84, and the entire row 12 and column 7 are highlighted, so you can see the neighbouring facts: 12 × 6 = 72 and 12 × 8 = 96.
Tips
- On a phone, scroll the table sideways for the larger sizes.
- Practise the facts you miss: the quiz gives new random questions every time.
- The quiz leaves out the 1× row on purpose, because it is too easy to teach anything.
Frequently asked questions
How do I read a multiplication table?
Find the first factor in the left column and the second in the top row. The number where the row and column meet is their product. For 7 × 8, go to row 7 and column 8 and you get 56.
How can I learn the times tables faster?
Start with the easy ones (1, 2, 5, 10), then use patterns, such as the 9s digits adding up to 9, and the fact that 6 × 7 and 7 × 6 are the same. Short daily practice in the quiz works better than one long session.
How do I print the table?
Choose a size, then press Print the table. Only the table is printed. For a one-page chart, 12 × 12 or smaller fits best on portrait paper.
What numbers does the practice quiz use?
Both factors are chosen randomly from 2 up to the size you picked (for example 2 to 12), and each quiz has ten questions. You get a score at the end.
Why does the table go up to 20?
Many schools stop at 10 or 12, but some curricula and mental-maths practice use 20. The smaller sizes are there for younger learners.
