What are Times Tables?

Times tables are a set of multiplication facts for each number from 1 to 10. They are used to quickly calculate the results of multiplication problems.

How to Learn Times Tables

Learning times tables can be made easier by following these steps:

Memorization: Start by memorizing the times tables for smaller numbers, such as 1, 2, 5, and 10. These are usually easier to learn.
Practice: Use flashcards or online games to practice the times tables regularly. Repetition is key to memorization.
Use Patterns: Look for patterns in the times tables, such as the commutative property (3 x 4 is the same as 4 x 3) and the relationship between multiplication and addition (3 x 4 is the same as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3).
Apply the Knowledge: Use the times tables to solve multiplication problems in everyday situations, such as when shopping or dividing items among friends.
Test Yourself: Regularly quiz yourself on the times tables to reinforce your memory.

Times Tables Chart

Here's a times tables chart to help you practice and memorize the multiplication facts:

×	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
1	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
2	2	4	6	8	10	12	14	16	18	20
3	3	6	9	12	15	18	21	24	27	30
4	4	8	12	16	20	24	28	32	36	40
5	5	10	15	20	25	30	35	40	45	50
6	6	12	18	24	30	36	42	48	54	60
7	7	14	21	28	35	42	49	56	63	70
8	8	16	24	32	40	48	56	64	72	80
9	9	18	27	36	45	54	63	72	81	90
10	10	20	30	40	50	60	70	80	90	100

Using Times Tables

Once you have memorized the times tables, you can use them to quickly solve multiplication problems. For example, if you need to find the product of 6 and 7, you can simply look up 6 in the first row and 7 in the first column to find the answer, which is 42.

Practice and consistency are key to mastering the times tables. Keep practicing and testing yourself regularly to improve your speed and accuracy in multiplication.

Multiplication

The resources above cover the following skills:

Number and Operations (NCTM)

Compute fluently and make reasonable estimates.

Develop fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers.

Select appropriate methods and tools for computing with whole numbers from among mental computation, estimation, calculators, and paper and pencil according to the context and nature of the computation and use the selected method or tools.

Algebra (NCTM)

Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships.

Model problem situations with objects and use representations such as graphs, tables, and equations to draw conclusions.

Connections to the Grade 5 Focal Points (NCTM)

Number and Operations: Building on their work in grade 4, students extend their understanding of place value to numbers through millions and millionths in various contexts. They apply what they know about multiplication of whole numbers to larger numbers. Students also explore contexts that they can describe with negative numbers (e.g., situations of owing money or measuring elevations above and below sea level).
