Using this page
Times tables facts in random order: choose one table, a group such as 2, 5 and 10, or every table mixed, up to × 10 or × 12. The Common Core asks children to know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of Grade 3, and Australian students are expected to recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 by around Year 4. Random order checks that a fact is really known, not just the next line of a chant. Suits around Year 3 and Year 4 in Australia and Grade 3 in the US (Common Core 3.OA.C.7), but use whatever level fits the child.
Tips
- Practise multiplication and division facts side by side, because each fact gives three others.
- Estimate before working out: 47 × 6 is about 50 × 6 = 300.
- Check division by multiplying back: the answer times the divisor, plus any remainder, gives the starting number.
- Squared or graph paper keeps long calculations in neat columns.
Worked example
7 × 8. If it is not yet known, build it from facts that are: 7 × 8 is double 7 × 4 (28), so 56. Or 5 × 8 = 40 plus 2 × 8 = 16 makes 56. Turnarounds help too: 8 × 7 is the same as 7 × 8.
Common mistakes
Mixing up near facts, such as 7 × 8 and 6 × 8. Link each hard fact to an easier one.
Answering 0 × 6 = 6. Any number times zero is zero.
How to use this generator
Choose the options above the sheet: the number of questions and the settings for this kind of worksheet. Every change makes a new sheet straight away, and New worksheet gives a different set of questions with the same settings.
Each sheet has a worksheet number printed at the top. Type the same number later, or keep the page link, to print exactly the same questions and answer key again. Leave Answer key page ticked to print the answers on a second page, then press Print. Every printed page carries the makekite logo and web address.
Common questions
Which tables should come first?
Start with 2, 5 and 10, then 3, 4 and 6, and leave 7, 8 and 9 until last, because by then most of their facts are already known as turnarounds.
How much working space is there?
The column and bus stop layouts leave space under each question for working. For long multiplication and long division, choose fewer questions for more space.
Can I print the same worksheet again?
Yes. Note the worksheet number printed at the top, or keep the link in your browser's address bar, which ends with that number. Entering it later gives the same questions and answers.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, and nothing you choose is sent anywhere: the sheets are made in your browser.
