What is a multiplication chart?

A multiplication chart is a grid that holds the answer to every multiplication up to a certain number, most often 10 × 10 or 12 × 12. The numbers run along the top and down the left side. Each square inside shows the number of its row times the number of its column.

Is a multiplication chart the same as a times table?

Nearly. A times table is one list, such as the 8 times table from 1 × 8 to 10 × 8. A multiplication chart puts all of those lists into one grid, so every row and every column of the chart is a times table. In the UK the chart is also called a times table grid or a multiplication square.

Does a multiplication chart go to 10 or to 12?

You will meet both. England's national curriculum has Year 4 pupils learn the multiplication tables up to 12 × 12. In the United States the Common Core standards ask children to know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of Grade 3, which is the chart up to 9 × 9, although many classroom charts go to 12 anyway. Print the one that matches the sheets your school sends home. (Both documents read on 2 October 2026.)

What is a blank multiplication chart for?

For practice. The numbers along the top and down the side are printed and the squares are empty, so a child writes the answers in. Fill in the whole chart against the clock, or only the row and the column of the table you are learning. Our blank charts have the answers on page 2.

What is a multiplication chart 1 to 100?

Most often it is the 10 by 10 chart, which has 100 squares and answers that run from 1 up to 100. A chart whose tables went all the way up to 100 would need 10,000 squares. For bigger numbers than 12 × 12, print the chart to 20.

Why does the chart say some squares aloud and not others?

The voice is a girl who recorded the tables from 2 to 11, each from 1 to 10. A square outside those recordings stays silent: 1 × 1, 11 × 11, and everything in the 12s.

Can I print the charts for a whole class?

Yes, as many copies as you need. The charts are free for home and classroom use and there is no sign-up. If another teacher wants them, please send the link to this page and not the file.

Blank multiplication chart

A blank multiplication chart has the numbers along the top and down the side, and nothing in the middle. Filling one in shows you quickly which answers a child knows by heart and which ones they have been reading off the wall.

Row, column, meet

How to read a multiplication chart

1Pick the two numbers you want to multiply. Let's say 4 and 6.
2Find the 4 down the left side. That is your row.
3Find the 6 along the top. That is your column.
4Slide along the row and down the column. They meet at 24, so 4 × 6 = 24.

It works the other way round too. The 6 row and the 4 column also meet at 24.

For readers in the UK

Times table grid, multiplication square: the same thing

In the UK this chart goes by other names: a times table grid, a times tables square, a multiplication grid or a multiplication square. All four are the chart at the top of this page.

England's national curriculum has Year 4 pupils “recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12”, so the grid to 12 is the one most UK families want. Our A4 files carry the UK names in their headings.

Look closer

Three things to spot on the chart

Each button takes you back up to the chart and colors it in.

The slanted line of square numbers
Run a finger from the top left corner down to the bottom right. You pass 1, 4, 9, 16 and 25, and each of them is a number times itself. They are called square numbers. In our book every one of them sits on a star.
The mirror
Fold the chart along that slanted line and every answer lands on its twin. 3 × 8 and 8 × 3 are one answer, printed twice. So nearly half of the chart is a copy of the other half.
The easy edges
The 1s are the number itself, and the 10s are the number with a 0 behind it. Up to 9 × 11, the 11s are the number written twice. That makes three rows and three columns you know before you start.

Past 12 × 12

Bigger charts: 1 to 20, and “1 to 100”

The chart to 20 is for a child who has the 12s and wants more, and for anyone who needs 17 × 6 in a hurry. It has 400 squares and still prints clearly on one page.

What a multiplication chart 1 to 100 is

Most people who ask for a multiplication chart 1 to 100 mean the 10 by 10 chart. It has 100 squares, and its answers run from 1 up to 100. That is our 1 to 10 chart.

A few people mean a chart whose tables go all the way up to 100. That one would need 10,000 squares, far too many to read on a sheet of paper, so the biggest chart we print stops at 20.

Less than it looks

Only 45 to learn

The chart to 10 has 100 squares, but a child who learns the tables in the right order meets only 45 new answers. Every other square is in the 1s, or is an answer they already know with its two numbers swapped.

Each table on its own
