Learning at homeTimes tables from 1 to 10: the complete chart, tricks, and printable worksheets
The times table from 1 to 10 contains 100 equations. It looks like a mountain, but only 15 are truly worth memorizing. The other 85 come from four simple ideas, and that is where you should start.

The 15 that remain at the end are all from the middle section of the table: 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 multiplied by each other. That is where it's worth spending your practice time, instead of repeating the 1s table endlessly.
The four shortcuts
1. The order doesn't matter
3 × 7 gives the same result as 7 × 3. If you know one, you know the other. Just with this, the table drops from 100 equations to 55.
2. The 1s and 10s tables solve themselves
Any number times 1 stays the same. Any number times 10 gets a zero at the end: 10 × 7 = 70. Now there are 36 left.
3. The 2s are double, the 5s are half of the 10s
2 × 8 is 8 + 8. For the 5s, do the math for 10 and cut it in half: 10 × 8 = 80, half is 40. The results of the 5s table always end in 0 or 5, which helps you verify them. Now there are 21 left.
4. The 9s can be done with your fingers
Open your hands in front of you, ten fingers. For 9 × 4, fold down the fourth finger from the left: you have 3 fingers on one side and 6 on the other, which makes 36. You can also multiply the number by 10 and subtract the number itself: 9 × 7 = 70 - 7 = 63. Now there are 15 left.

To print: posters, chart, and worksheets
We have gathered in a free PDF what we use here to practice the times tables: two posters with the complete table up to 12, to put on the wall, two colorful multiplication charts, and ten worksheets to fill out, one for each table. You can print the worksheet as many times as needed, so the table that is hardest can be repeated until you know it by heart.

The posters are A3. On your home printer, select the "Fit to page" option and they will print on A4 without cutting anything off.
