Times Table Practice

Pick a times table, answer a short round of questions and see which facts need more practice. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere: the quiz runs entirely in your browser.

How to use this practice tool

1. Choose one times table to focus on, or choose Mixed for a general check.
2. Pick 10 questions for a quick round or 20 for a longer one.
3. Type each answer and press Enter or tap Check.
4. At the end, look at the facts you missed and practise those again.

Tips for learning the times tables

• Start with the easy ones. The 2s are doubles, the 10s just add a zero, and the 5s always end in 0 or 5.
• Use the swap trick. 3 × 7 and 7 × 3 give the same answer, so every fact you learn is really two facts.
• Check the 9s with the digit trick. The digits of any 9 times answer add up to 9 (for example 9 × 7 = 63, and 6 + 3 = 9).
• Notice patterns in the 11s. From 11 × 2 to 11 × 9 the answer repeats the digit: 22, 33, 44 and so on.
• Save the tricky ones for last. Most children find 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8 and 7 × 9 the hardest, so give those extra short rounds.
• Skip count out loud. Counting 4, 8, 12, 16 helps the pattern stick.

A simple practice plan

Five minutes a day is enough for most children, and it works better than one long session each week. One easy plan is to cover the 2, 5 and 10 tables in the first week, the 3 and 4 tables in the second, the 6 and 9 tables in the third, and the 7, 8, 11 and 12 tables in the fourth. After that, use the Mixed option to keep everything fresh. Stop while it is still fun.
