Times tables are one of those things that just take practice. Having a clear chart on the fridge, in a homework folder or taped inside a notebook makes that practice a lot easier, because the answer is always one glance away.
This free printable multiplication chart pack has everything in one PDF: a colorful 1–12 chart, an ink-saving black and white version, a smaller 1–10 chart, blank and fill-in charts for practice, all the times tables from 1 to 12, and two quizzes with answer keys.
What’s in the multiplication chart pack
The PDF has 11 US Letter pages. Every chart uses big, clear numbers and the grid lines are the same weight everywhere, so it’s easy to follow a row and a column with your finger.
Colorful multiplication chart 1–12
Each row and column has its own soft color, and the diagonal of square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16 … 144) is highlighted in bold. To find 7 × 8, put one finger on the 7 row and one on the 8 column, and slide them until they meet: 56.
Black and white chart
Exactly the same chart with no color fills, for when you need lots of copies for a classroom or your printer is low on ink.
1–10 multiplication chart
A smaller 10 × 10 chart with even bigger squares. It’s a good starting point for younger kids who are just learning their first times tables.
Blank and fill-in charts
The blank chart has only the row and column headers, so kids can build the whole table themselves. The fill-in chart has about half the answers missing, a nice middle step between “looking it up” and “knowing it by heart”.
Times tables 1–12
One colorful page with every times table written out as facts (3 × 1 = 3, 3 × 2 = 6 …). Great for practicing one table at a time.
Two multiplication quizzes
Each quiz has 40 mixed facts from 2 × 2 up to 12 × 12, with a name and score line at the top. The answer keys are the last two pages.
Tips for learning the times tables
- Start with the easy tables: 1, 2, 5 and 10 follow simple patterns.
- Use the “turnaround” trick: 3 × 8 is the same as 8 × 3, so every fact you learn gives you two answers.
- The 9s trick: the digits of the answer always add up to 9 (9 × 6 = 54, and 5 + 4 = 9).
- Square numbers are anchors: if you know 6 × 6 = 36, then 6 × 7 is just 36 + 6 = 42.
- Little and often: five minutes a day works better than one long session a week.
