Learn Times Tables
Times tables help children understand multiplication and make many other areas of maths easier. Knowing multiplication facts can help with division, fractions, money, measurement and everyday problem solving.
This section will help learners build their tables from 1 to 12 using repetition, visual learning, patterns and interactive activities.
Learners will be able to practise at their own pace. Our goal is to provide clear visual learning, spoken support where possible and activities that do not depend on speed or timed testing.
Choose a Times Table
Start with one table or work through them in order. Each table will eventually include learning, listening and practice activities.

Start with the simplest multiplication pattern.
Activity Coming2 Times Table
Learn doubles and counting in twos.
Activity Coming3 Times Table
Practise counting and multiplying in threes.
Activity Coming4 Times Table
Build the pattern of four step by step.
Activity Coming5 Times Table
Use the easy pattern of numbers ending in 0 and 5.
Activity Coming6 Times Table
Build confidence with the sixes pattern.
Activity Coming7 Times Table
Practise one of the trickier multiplication tables.
Activity Coming8 Times Table
Explore the pattern created by multiplying by eight.
Activity Coming9 Times Table
Discover some useful patterns in the nine times table.
Activity Coming10 Times Table
Learn the simple pattern created by multiplying by ten.
Activity Coming11 Times Table
Explore the repeating patterns in the elevens.
Activity Coming12 Times Table
Complete the traditional 1 to 12 times tables.
Activity ComingWhat Does Multiplication Mean?
This can mean three groups of four. It can also be understood as:
Seeing multiplication as groups and repeated addition can help learners understand the idea before they begin memorising the answers.
Practice Builds Confidence
Times tables become easier through regular repetition. Learners do not need to master every table at once. Practising a little at a time, hearing the tables, seeing the patterns and using them in games can gradually make the answers easier to remember.
