Swap the numbers round
The order doesn’t change the answer: 3 × 7 = 7 × 3. Learn half the grid and your child already knows the other half.

How to learn times tables quickly
Tips for parents: tricks that leave far less to learn by heart.
2
× 2 means double
Multiplying by 2 is adding a number to itself: 8 × 2 = 8 + 8 = 16.
3
× 4 means double, then double again
6 × 4: first 6 + 6 = 12, then 12 + 12 = 24. Two easy steps instead of a new row to learn.
4
× 5 ends in 0 or 5
An even number × 5 ends in 0, an odd one in 5. It’s also half of × 10: 8 × 5 = 80 ÷ 2 = 40.
5
× 9 on your fingers
Hold up 10 fingers and fold down the one you’re multiplying by. Fingers on the left are tens, on the right are ones: 9 × 3 = 27.
6
× 10 adds a zero
7 × 10 = 70: just add a 0. A great place to start — your child sees success straight away.
Frequently asked questions
Children start with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables in Year 2, add the 3, 4 and 8 times tables in Year 3, and should know every table up to 12 × 12 by the end of Year 4, when they sit the Multiplication Tables Check.
Most children need a few weeks of 10–15 minutes a day. Short and regular beats an hour once a week.
Start with × 1, × 2, × 5 and × 10 — they’re the easiest. Then show that the numbers can be swapped round, which halves the grid. After that come the tricks for × 4 and × 9, and a few minutes of practice every day.
That’s normal: memory builds with repetition. Take the test and practise the mistakes — “Practise my mistakes” asks only the facts that went wrong. If there’s no progress after a few weeks, a tutor can help.
Multiplication is a quick way of adding the same number again and again: 3 × 4 is 4 + 4 + 4. Show it with objects — three plates with four apples on each.
Yes. A colour and a black-and-white grid, a column poster and a blank grid to fill in — all A4, free and with no sign-up.
