Multiplication Tables

Choose the table you want to practice from the following. First you can practice the multiplication facts in sequence and once you have got the hang of that you can practice all the sums in random order for each table. If you have forgotten any answers, just go back to the 'all tables in sequence' page and practice them again thoroughly before trying again.

Once you have got the hang of a number of tables you can select the speed test and choose the tables you want to practice getting quicker at. If you make a mistake, you came see what the right answer is at the end of the test. This will help you learn all of your tables. The speed test is good practice for getting your tables diploma. On the tables diploma the questions are a bit quicker than on the speed test, but if you get all of them right you will get your tables diploma. There are two tables diplomas. The little diploma is made up of 30 questions. Your little diploma shows you can do the 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 times tables. For the big tables diploma you are given 40 questions which include all the tables from 1 to 12.

Learn the multiplication tables in an interactive way with the free math multiplication learning games for 2rd, 3th, 4th and 5th grade. The game element in the times tables games make it even more fun learn.

Here you can find additional information about practicing multiplication tables at primary school. The 1 times table, 2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table and 10 times table are the first times tables to be learned. The 6 times table, 7 times table, 8 times table, 9 times table, 11 times table, 12 times table and of course all the tables in random order are the next step.

Not every child finds it easy to learn all the tables, so it is a good idea to keep on practicing them regularly after you learned them. There are a few tricks which make it easier to learn the tables and continue to master them, such as putting the smallest number first, which makes it easier for many children to answer correctly. For example 4 x 9 is easier to work out than 9 x 4. Switching the multiplication sum around makes it easier to answer. What also often helps is to use the tables you know well for answering the sums in the more difficult tables. One example of this is 6 x 7, which is often said to be tricky. If you do 5 x 7 first and then add 1 x 7 it is suddenly easier to answer. You can do this the other way round too. For instance with 4 x 7 you can do 5 x 7 first then subtract 1 x 7.

Why do we put so much effort into learning tables? Well, the multiplication tables keep on coming up in the next primary school years and even when you're at secondary school. You don't see them as tables, but as part of bigger mathematical problems. And it isn't only at school, but in your everyday life it is useful to know your times tables well so you can quickly work things out, for instance when you are buying or selling vegetables on the market.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my kiddo to learn her multiplication tables. With Anki, I can know how many cards she reviews, and like the power of the intervals. So... has anyone done this? If so, what was your way of doing it?

Originally, I was thinking I could just put in the tables, but then she's getting them painfully randomly. So I tagged them all, and thought I could give her the "tag" of the week (like this week, they're doing 6's). But I can't figure out HOW to do this effectively... it seems creating a custom deck may work? Also, I want her to review the other already known ones too. So basically, she knows 1, 2, 5 already. 3 and 4 is spotty, 6 is crap. So how do I make sure she gets ALL the 6s this week, and smattering of the 1,2,5, and decent numbers of 3/4? Or is this not really doable?

Despite being in the school to teach creative writing, not maths, I felt I had to respond, so I mentioned how helpful multiplication stories are for children with dyslexia. I know from experience it is almost impossible for a dyslexic child to pick up the multiplication tables by rote memorisation. I tried this approach for years with my son, Harry, and got nowhere.

Of course, you can hope your son or daughter will learn their tables at school. Most children will. However, those with dyslexia may not. Working with your child at home supports what they are learning in school. A friend, a primary teacher, said most of her pupils learn their tables with help from parents as the time to work on them in class is limited. Helping your child learn their tables is not difficult once you understand their need for visual anchors.

Harry is a picture thinker, as are most people with dyslexia. I was delighted to find a resource on multiplication.com which uses pictures and stories to teach the times tables. Stories may seem like a complicated way to remember the tables, but trust me, once your child has the story in their head, they will retrieve the answer quickly.

The multiplication.com website offers several options for games, books, and resources. However, at the time of writing, you can see these stories for free. To find them, follow this sequence:

The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an essential part of elementary arithmetic around the world, as it lays the foundation for arithmetic operations with base-ten numbers. Many educators believe it is necessary to memorize the table up to 9  9.[1]

The oldest known multiplication tables were used by the Babylonians about 4000 years ago.[2] However, they used a base of 60.[2] The oldest known tables using a base of 10 are the Chinese decimal multiplication table on bamboo strips dating to about 305 BC, during China's Warring States period.[2]

In 493 AD, Victorius of Aquitaine wrote a 98-column multiplication table which gave (in Roman numerals) the product of every number from 2 to 50 times and the rows were "a list of numbers starting with one thousand, descending by hundreds to one hundred, then descending by tens to ten, then by ones to one, and then the fractions down to 1/144."[6]

In his 1820 book The Philosophy of Arithmetic,[7] mathematician John Leslie published a multiplication table up to 99  99, which allows numbers to be multiplied in pairs of digits at a time. Leslie also recommended that young pupils memorize the multiplication table up to 50  50.

This form of writing the multiplication table in columns with complete number sentences is still used in some countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina,[citation needed] instead of the modern grids above.

Tables can also define binary operations on groups, fields, rings, and other algebraic systems. In such contexts they are called Cayley tables. Here are the addition and multiplication tables for the finite field Z5:

Mokkan discovered at Heijō Palace suggest that the multiplication table may have been introduced to Japan through Chinese mathematical treatises such as the Sunzi Suanjing, because their expression of the multiplication table share the character 如 in products less than ten.[8] Chinese and Japanese share a similar system of eighty-one short, easily memorable sentences taught to students to help them learn the multiplication table up to 9  9. In current usage, the sentences that express products less than ten include an additional particle in both languages. In the case of modern Chinese, this is 得 (dé); and in Japanese, this is が (ga). This is useful for those who practice calculation with a suanpan or a soroban, because the sentences remind them to shift one column to the right when inputting a product that does not begin with a tens digit. In particular, the Japanese multiplication table uses non-standard pronunciations for numbers in some specific instances (such as the replacement of san roku with saburoku).

In 1989, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) developed new standards which were based on the belief that all students should learn higher-order thinking skills, which recommended reduced emphasis on the teaching of traditional methods that relied on rote memorization, such as multiplication tables. Widely adopted texts such as Investigations in Numbers, Data, and Space (widely known as TERC after its producer, Technical Education Research Centers) omitted aids such as multiplication tables in early editions. NCTM made it clear in their 2006 Focal Points that basic mathematics facts must be learned, though there is no consensus on whether rote memorization is the best method. In recent years, a number of nontraditional methods have been devised to help children learn multiplication facts, including video-game style apps and books that aim to teach times tables through character-based stories.
