How to learn times tables quickly
- Learn the easy ones first. The 1, 2, 5, 10 and 11 times tables follow simple patterns, and they cover a large part of the grid.
- Use the facts you know. Every fact has a partner: if you know 3 × 8 = 24, you know 8 × 3. That halves what you need to learn.
- Build on doubles. The 4 times table is double the 2s, and the 8 times table is double the 4s.
- Practise a little every day. Five minutes a day works better than one long session a week.
- Add speed last. Use the timed check once your child knows the facts, to build quick recall.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Multiplication Tables Check?
It is an on-screen check that Year 4 pupils in England take in June. Pupils answer 25 times tables questions up to 12 × 12, with 6 seconds for each one. There is no pass mark; schools use the results to see who needs more practice.
How can my child get faster at times tables?
Practise a little every day, one table at a time, then mix them. Learn the facts in pairs (7 × 8 and 8 × 7), say them aloud, and use timed tests only once your child knows the facts.
Which times tables are hardest?
Most children find the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 times tables hardest, and facts such as 7 × 8, 6 × 9 and 8 × 12 are often the last to stick.
Is this test the same as the real check?
It follows the same format: 25 questions, 6 seconds each, from the 2 to 12 times tables. It is a free practice tool made by Studoli, not the official check.
When should my child know all their times tables?
The national curriculum in England expects children to know all their times tables up to 12 × 12 by the end of Year 4.
