Free Multiplication Worksheets

How these worksheets work

Choose a level below. Each worksheet has new numbers every time you ask for one, so you can print as many different sheets as you need. Answers are worked out by the generator and printed on a separate page.

Start at the first level and move on when a sheet can be finished quickly with few mistakes. Short, regular practice (one sheet a day) builds fluency faster than long sessions, and timing a sheet now and then shows progress clearly.

Choosing the right level

• Times tables 2–5, usually grade 2. Typical problems: 3 × 9 = 27; 2 × 5 = 10; 5 × 9 = 45.
• Times tables 2–10, usually grade 3. Typical problems: 7 × 7 = 49; 2 × 1 = 2; 2 × 10 = 20.
• Times tables 2–12, usually grades 3 and 4. Typical problems: 8 × 3 = 24; 7 × 3 = 21; 2 × 10 = 20.
• Two-digit × one-digit, usually grade 4. Typical problems: 55 × 6 = 330; 69 × 8 = 552; 46 × 2 = 92.
• Two-digit × two-digit, usually grade 4. Typical problems: 77 × 82 = 6314; 96 × 62 = 5952; 55 × 38 = 2090.

If a child gets more than a few problems wrong on a level, stay there for another sheet or two. If a sheet is finished quickly and almost all correct, move to the next level. Each level page has its own answer key and a button for a fresh set of numbers.

Worked example: 7 × 7

This problem comes from the times tables 2–10 level. The method is the same for every problem on that sheet:

1. This is a times-table fact: 7 × 7 = 49.
2. If you are not sure, start from 7 × 10 = 70 and take away 3 lots of 7: 70 − 21 = 49.

Printing and reuse

Every level prints on plain paper with the answers on a separate page. Because the numbers change each time you press “New worksheet”, you can give a different sheet to each child or repeat a level many times without anyone memorising the answers.

The sample problems above are taken from the same generators as the printable sheets, so they show exactly the kind of numbers each level uses.

Teaching tips

• Learn the tables in an order that builds on itself: 2, 10 and 5 first, then 4 and 8 by doubling, then 3, 6 and 9.
• Every fact has a twin: 7 × 8 is the same as 8 × 7, so there are far fewer facts to learn than it seems.
• For bigger numbers, split one factor into tens and ones and add the partial products.
• Short daily practice with mixed questions fixes facts in memory better than reciting one table at a time.
