Ten questions from the table you pick

Choose the table you want to drill, anywhere from 2 up to 12, or pick Mixed to be tested on all of them at once. You then get ten multiplication questions one at a time; type each answer on the number pad or your keyboard and press Enter. A right answer turns green, a wrong one shows the correct product so you learn it on the spot, and the round ends with a score out of ten and your best kept to beat. To learn a table in order first, or to print a chart, the deeper times tables practice page covers that side, then come back here to test yourself.

Cracking the tables that feel hard

Most children find the 2, 5 and 10 tables easy, so bank those for confidence first, which quietly leaves fewer facts to fear. The ones that trip people up, often the 6, 7 and 8 tables, give way to small tricks: the 9 table answers always have digits that add to nine, and any table can be reached by counting up in steps if a fact slips your mind, so the 4s run 4, 8, 12, 16. Test one hard table a day rather than all of them at once, and the stubborn facts stop being stubborn.

What knowing your tables makes easier

The times tables are the one piece of arithmetic worth knowing so well the answers arrive without thinking, because so much later math quietly sits on top of them. Division is just the tables read backward, fractions and ratios lean on them constantly, and a child who has to work out 7 times 8 mid-problem loses the thread of the bigger question they were solving. A short daily test that feels like a game is a gentler road to that automatic recall than a page of sums, and it is the fastest fix for the facts that keep slipping.

Frequently asked questions

How does Times Tables practice work?

Pick a times table, like the 7 times table, or choose Mixed. You get 10 questions from that table. Type your answer and press Enter. At the end you see your score out of 10.

Which tables can I practice?

You can practice any table from 2 to 12 on its own, or choose Mixed to get questions from all of them together for a bigger challenge.

What is the best order to learn the times tables?

Start with the 2, 10 and 5 tables, which most children find easiest, then the 4s (double the 2s) and the 3s. Save the 6, 7 and 8 tables for last, since they are the ones people find hardest, and lean on tricks like the nine-times digit pattern. Learning one table at a time and testing it before moving on works better than tackling all of them together.
