Multiplication chart 1-12
A multiplication chart shows the product of every pair of numbers: find one number in the left column and the other in the top row, and the square where they meet is the answer (7 × 8 = 56). Print the 12 × 12 chart below on one page, or turn it into a blank or practice chart with an answer key.

Why use this chart
On September 24, 2026, we read the top Google results for "multiplication chart" (Mometrix, Timestables.com, Toy Theater, Dad's Worksheets, Alberta Education and Math is Fun). They offer fixed PDFs, images or on-screen charts. None of them lets you:
- leave some squares blank at random and print the matching answer key;
- print the same chart on US Letter or A4, sized to fit one page;
- choose what to shade: a single times table or every multiple of a number;
- make any size from 10 × 10 to 25 × 25 in the same layout, as selectable text rather than an image.
We also found errors. Two Mometrix "Times Tables 1-20" PDFs contain incorrect equations such as "1 × 11 = 77", and Dad's Worksheets describes its 1-15 chart as "products 1-255" (15 × 15 is 225). Every number in our charts is calculated, and automated tests check every product, every page size and every answer key.
How to read the chart
- Find the first number in the shaded column on the left.
- Find the second number in the shaded row across the top.
- Follow the row across and the column down. Where they meet is the product: row 6, column 9 is 54.
Division works backward: to find 54 ÷ 6, go along row 6 to 54 and read the number at the top of that column, 9. The guide to using the chart shows each pattern (square numbers, the 9s, matching facts across the diagonal) on its own shaded chart.
The chart in numbers
Our generator counted these. We count 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 as one fact, because they match on opposite sides of the diagonal.
| Chart | Squares | Different facts | Different products | Most repeated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 × 10 | 100 | 55 | 42 | 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 40 (4 times each) |
| 12 × 12 | 144 | 78 | 59 | 12, 24 (6 times each) |
| 15 × 15 | 225 | 120 | 89 | 12, 24, 30, 60 (6 times each) |
| 20 × 20 | 400 | 210 | 152 | 60 (8 times each) |
| 25 × 25 | 625 | 325 | 225 | 24, 48, 60, 72, 120 (8 times each) |
So a 12 × 12 chart has 144 squares but only 78 facts to learn, and only 59 different answers. The numbers 12 and 24 each appear 6 times. For example, 24 = 2 × 12 = 3 × 8 = 4 × 6, each in both orders.
Why 1 to 12?
- United States: Common Core standard 3.OA.C.7 ends with "By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers." That is the 9 × 9 corner of this chart. Many classrooms still use 12 × 12 charts, but the 10s, 11s and 12s go beyond the standard.
- England: Year 4 pupils must "recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12". In June they take the multiplication tables check: 25 questions from the 2 to 12 tables, with 6 seconds for each. There is no pass mark.
In the UK, the same chart is usually called a multiplication square or times table grid. Choose A4 before you print.
Printing tips
- In the print dialog, choose Actual size or 100%, not Fit to page. The chart sits inside 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) margins, which work on most home and school printers.
- Black and white uses gray shading, which copies well on a school photocopier.
- Blank and practice charts print with an answer key on page 2. Uncheck the answer key box to print the chart alone.
- The Download PDF button creates the file in your browser from the same layout as the printout. Your chart is never sent anywhere.
- Every setting is saved in the page's web address, so a copied link reopens the same chart, blank squares included.
- Filled chartevery answer in place
- Blank chartfill it in, answer key on page 2
- Practice chartsome squares blank at random
A trick for the 12s
To multiply by 12, multiply by 10, multiply by 2, and add the results: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84. This is the distributive property, and Common Core 3.OA.B.5 gives this example: "Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)"
10 × 8 = 80
2 × 8 = 16
80 + 16 = 96, so 12 × 8 = 96.
One table at a time
Each table from 2 to 12 has its own page with a printable sheet, its patterns, the facts children miss and a self-check with answers. Start with the trick that fits the table, or see all of them on the times tables 1 to 12 page.
