Facts to practise
The facts to learn
Children who know the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 times tables already have 12 × 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, because 12 × 11 = 11 × 12. That leaves one new fact:
- 12 × 12 = 144
A trick for the 12 times table
Do 10 times plus 2 times: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84.

How to play
- Pick Practice to start: there's no timer, and a wrong answer shows a tip and comes back later.
- When most answers are right, try the Speed round: 60 seconds, as many as you can.
- For a harder game, choose Typing instead of tapping, or ask for missing numbers (12 × ? = 72) and division (96 ÷ 12).

Frequently asked questions
At what age do children learn the 12 times table?
Usually by age 8–9. In England, children are expected to know the 12 times table by the end of Year 4. That is also when they take the multiplication tables check, which covers every table up to 12 × 12.
Which 12 times table facts are hardest?
The ones not covered by earlier tables: 12 × 12 = 144. The rest match facts children already know, like 12 × 11 = 11 × 12.
How can my child get faster at the 12 times table?
Play Practice until most answers are right, then the Speed round. Three stars means 25 right in 60 seconds. After that, switch to typing the answers, then try missing numbers and division.
