Which order to learn them in

Each group builds on the one before, so there are fewer new facts to learn every time.

  1. Counting, doubling and numbers that end in 0 or 5.

  2. 4 is double 2, and 8 is double 4.

  3. 6 is double 3, and 9 and 11 sit either side of 10.

  4. By now you already know most of these facts from other tables.

  5. Build each one from 10 times plus a table you know.

Frequently asked questions

What are times tables?

Times tables list the answers to multiplying a number by 1, 2, 3 and so on. The 4 times table, for example, goes 4, 8, 12, 16 and on up to 4 × 12 = 48.

Which order should I learn the times tables in?

Start with 1, 2, 5 and 10, then 3, 4 and 8, then 6, 9 and 11, and finish with 7 and 12. Each group builds on the one before, so fewer facts are new each time.

Which times table is the hardest?

Most people find the 7 and 8 times tables hardest, with facts like 7 × 8 = 56 and 6 × 8 = 48. Learning the tables in order helps, because by then only a few of their facts are new.

Should children learn times tables up to 12 or up to 20?

Tables up to 12 × 12 are the usual goal in many countries; in England, Year 4 pupils take a check on them. Many schools in India also teach tables up to 20. Every table up to 100 has its own page here, and the calculator handles any number.

Can I print the times tables?

Yes. Every table page has a Print button and a free PDF in colour or black and white. You can also print all the tables on one page, a multiplication chart, or a worksheet with its answers.
