About This Lesson
These three charts cover the times tables up to 12 × 12.
The filled chart is for reference. Find the first number in the shaded column on the left and the second in the shaded row across the top. The square where they meet is the product, so row 6 and column 9 meet at 54. Division works backward: for 54 ÷ 6, go along row 6 to 54 and read the number at the top of that column, 9.
On the blank chart, students multiply the row number by the column number to fill in every square. On the practice chart about half the squares are already filled in, and students complete the rest. In the practice answer key the answers are in bold color and the given numbers are gray.
A 12 × 12 chart has 144 squares but only 78 different facts, because 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 sit opposite each other across the diagonal. Only 59 different products appear, and 12 and 24 show up most often, 6 times each. Common Core standard 3.OA.C.7 asks students to know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of grade 3. That is the 9 × 9 corner of the chart; the 10s, 11s and 12s go beyond it.

I made these with the free chart generator at multiplicationchart.app. It also makes charts from 10 × 10 to 25 × 25, A4 and black-and-white versions, and charts that shade one times table or every multiple of a number.
