Printable Multiplication Facts Tables

A necessary math learning tool, Printable Multiplication Facts Tables for the numbers 1 through 12. Once children learn basic addition and subtraction, it’s time to move on to multiplication and division.

Printable multiplication facts tables for your child.

Children learn math skills at different ages, so there is not really a hard and fast rule on when you should start teaching multiplication and division. Though the general rule-of-thumb is that public schools will be teaching multiplication by third grade. What’s most important is that children have a solid understanding of their addition and subtraction facts before moving on to multiplication.

Parents and teachers can introduce multiplication facts before presenting children with multiplication charts and tables. The easiest way to get started is by counting by 2’s (2, 4, 6, 8 who do we appreciate). Talk about the concept of doubling or multiples of 5 and 10.

I’ve put together three pages of printable multiplication facts. Page 1 for multiplication facts 1 – 4, page 2 includes multiplication facts 5 – 8 and page 3 for multiplication facts 9 – 12. Cut the pages apart to use one at a time, or keep them together to keep in a notebook.

Generally children can memorize multiplication facts in about a month if dedicating 10 minutes a day to reviewing them. With this in mind, it’s good to keep several copies of tables available at your child’s desk or Homework Station.

I hope you find these multiplication facts tables useful!
