Times Tables Tricks: A Quick Guide
Times tables are the building blocks of fractions, area, division and algebra. You do not need to memorise every fact in the same way. Smart tricks help you build the facts you do not know from the facts you do know.
Three worked examples
Example 1 · The 9 times table
9 × 7: do 10 × 7 = 70, then take away one 7. 70 − 7 = 63.
Example 2 · The 12 times table
12 × 6: split 12 into 10 and 2. 10 × 6 = 60 and 2 × 6 = 12. Then 60 + 12 = 72.
Example 3 · Build from a fact you know
6 × 7: you know 6 × 6 = 36. Add one more 6 to get 36 + 6 = 42.
Three common mistakes
Mixing up close answers. 6 × 8 = 48 and 7 × 7 = 49 are only 1 apart. Say the whole fact before you drop an answer.
Adding instead of multiplying. 4 × 5 is 20, not 4 + 5 = 9. Multiplying means 4 groups of 5.
Using the "11 trick" too far. 11 × 8 = 88 works for one digit, but 11 × 12 = 132, not 1212.
How to use the race
Choose a table range and a race length. Start with 2 to 5 if you are new.
Read the question and drag the correct answer chip into the slot.
A wrong answer resets your streak, so slow down if your accuracy drops.
