Where to start
Most children find this order comfortable: 2s, 10s and 5s first, then 3s and 4s, then 6s, 8s and 9s, and finally 7s, 11s and 12s. Each table builds on earlier ones. For example, the 4s are the 2s doubled, and the 8s are the 4s doubled.
Fewer facts than you think
A 12 × 12 chart has 144 boxes, but every fact can be flipped (3 × 7 is the same as 7 × 3), and the 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s are quick wins. Once your child sees that, the list of genuinely hard facts is short: mainly 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 7, 7 × 8, 8 × 8 and a few in the 12s.
How to practice
A few minutes a day beats one long session a week. Start with accuracy, not speed: a timer can wait until your child is getting most answers right. When you want a check-in, try the times tables test. For paper practice, use a multiplication chart or a worksheet.
What schools expect
In the US, multiplication is usually introduced in 2nd and 3rd grade. The Common Core standard 3.OA.C.7 says that by the end of 3rd grade, students should know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. Many classrooms also practice up to 12 × 12.
Frequently asked questions
What is the fastest way to learn the times tables?
Short daily practice, learning tables in an order that builds on itself, and using tricks that turn hard facts into easy ones. Each table page has its own tricks.
Which times table is the hardest?
Many children find the 7s, 8s and 6s hardest. The single most-missed facts tend to be 7 × 8, 6 × 8 and 6 × 7.
Is the game free?
Yes. It is free, needs no login and has no ads.
Should I use a timer?
Not at first. Accuracy comes first; speed tends to follow with practice. You can switch on a gentle timer whenever your child is ready.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Everything runs in the browser, including on Chromebooks and tablets.
