Multiplication table practice

In Practice mode, the tool asks random problems from the tables you choose, one at a time. Type the answer and press Enter (or tap Check). You see right away whether it was correct, and if not, the right answer.

• Multiplication: problems like 7 × 8 = ?
• Division: the reverse facts, like 56 ÷ 7 = ?
• Mixed: both, for kids who already know the basics.
• Number of problems: 10, 20, 30 or 50 per round.

At the end you get a score, the total time and the average time per problem, plus a list of the facts that were missed. Practice mistakes starts a round with only those, each repeated twice in random order, which is the fastest way to fix the stubborn ones.

In the interactive chart above the tool, point to or tap any number to highlight its row and column and see the fact.

Print worksheet (with answer key) creates a sheet with problems from the selected tables, with a line for the student's name and time, and a second page with the answers, so a parent or teacher can check work quickly. Each print is a new random set, so you can print a fresh sheet every day.

Print the chart produces a clean 1–10 multiplication chart, handy for a binder, a desk or the fridge.

Most US students learn multiplication facts in 3rd grade; the Common Core standards expect students to know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of that year. Some strategies that help:

• Start with the easy tables: 1, 2, 5 and 10. Then 3 and 4, then 9, and finally 6, 7 and 8.
• Use the commutative property: 3 × 7 is the same as 7 × 3. Knowing that cuts the number of facts to learn almost in half.
• Spot patterns: 9s digits add up to 9 (9 × 6 = 54, 5 + 4 = 9); 5s end in 0 or 5; 4s are doubles of doubles.
• Short and often beats long and rare: 5–10 minutes a day works better than an hour once a week.
• Practice the hard ones: use Practice mistakes to focus on the facts that cause trouble, often 6 × 7, 7 × 8 and 6 × 8.
• Then add speed: once a table is accurate, try to beat your time.

Division is the reverse of multiplication: since 6 × 8 = 48, we know 48 ÷ 6 = 8 and 48 ÷ 8 = 6. Practicing division with the same tables, in Division or Mixed mode, reinforces both directions and prepares kids for long division and fractions.
