How to remember the 1 times table

  • Any number times 1 stays the same: 1 × 9 = 9. That’s why 1 is called the identity for multiplication.
  • The 1 times table is just counting: 1, 2, 3, 4 and on up to 12.
  • It gives you a free fact in every other table: 7 × 1 = 7 and 12 × 1 = 12.

Patterns in the 1 times table

  • Each answer is 1 more than the one before: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on.
  • The last digits run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, using every digit once before repeating.
  • Answers take turns being odd and even: odd × odd is odd, odd × even is even.
  • 1 × 1 = 1 is a square number: 1 rows of 1.

Common mistakes with the 1 times table

  • Mixing up × 1 and + 1: 7 × 1 = 7, not 8. Multiplying by 1 changes nothing.
  • Getting 1 for 1 × 0. Anything times 0 is 0, so 1 × 0 = 0.
