Free Printable Multiplication Chart & Times Tables (1–12, 1–15 + Blank)

Every teacher I know has a printable multiplication chart taped inside a folder, laminated on a desk, or pinned to the maths wall — and for good reason. A times table chart is the single most-used reference tool in primary maths. Below you'll find free printable multiplication charts (1–12 and 1–15), plus a blank practice grid, ready to print straight from this page.

Free Printable Multiplication Chart 1–12

This is the classic times table grid most students use from 3rd grade on. The highlighted diagonal shows the square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16…) — a great pattern to point out early. To print, just use your browser's print button (Ctrl/Cmd + P); the chart fits cleanly on one page in portrait.

Multiplication Chart 1–15 (Extended)

For older students or extension work, the 1–15 chart covers the trickier teen facts that show up in fraction work, area problems, and mental maths beyond the basics.

Blank Multiplication Chart for Practice

The blank grid is where the real learning happens. Filling in an empty chart from memory — even partially — is one of the highest-value retrieval practice activities you can give a student. Time them once a week and watch the chart fill further each time.

How to Use a Multiplication Chart Without Creating Dependence

The biggest worry teachers have is students leaning on the chart forever. The fix is to treat the chart as scaffolding with a planned exit:

• Weeks 1–2: open access. Students use the full chart while they learn how to read it (find the row, find the column, meet in the middle).
• Weeks 3–4: pattern hunting. Shift attention to the structure — the 9s digit trick, doubles, the commutative mirror across the diagonal. Once students see that 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 are the same square, the chart they need to memorise effectively halves.
• Weeks 5+: the blank chart takes over. Swap the filled chart for the blank one and let students reconstruct what they know, only checking against the full version afterwards.

Five Patterns Worth Teaching From the Chart

1. The diagonal of squares — 1, 4, 9, 16, 25… runs straight down the middle and splits the chart into two mirror images.
2. The 9s finger trick lives in the chart — look down the 9 column: the tens digit counts up while the ones digit counts down, and each row's digits sum to 9.
3. Doubling chains — the 2, 4 and 8 rows are each a doubling of the last. A student who knows 2s can derive 4s and 8s instead of memorising them cold.
4. The 5s rhythm — every product ends in 5 or 0, alternating. Quick wins build confidence before the harder facts.
5. The hardest facts cluster — research on times-table errors consistently shows 6×7, 6×8, 7×8 and 8×12 are the most-missed facts. Circle them on the chart and give them extra reps.

Three Low-Prep Games Using a Printed Chart

Chart Race: two students share one blank chart and one die each. Roll both dice, multiply, write the product in the right cell. First to complete a full row wins.

Cover-Up: give each student a filled chart and a handful of counters. Call out a product ("forty-two!") — students cover every cell where it appears. Sneaky way to teach factor pairs.

Pattern Detective: hand out the filled chart and ask students to find and colour any pattern they can describe in one sentence. The explanations are where the number sense shows up.

Print Tips for Teachers

• Print at 100% scale (not "fit to page") for the crispest grid lines.
• Laminate a class set and use whiteboard markers for the blank-chart drills — one print run lasts all year.
• For students with visual tracking difficulties, print the 1–12 chart enlarged on A3 and add a ruler or reading strip.

FAQ

What times tables should each grade know?

Typical expectations: 2s, 5s and 10s by the end of 2nd grade (Year 3), the full 1–10 grid during 3rd grade (Year 4), and fluency to 12 × 12 by the end of 4th grade (Year 5). Curricula vary — the chart works at every stage.

Is it OK for students to use a multiplication chart during tests?

For classwork and learning, absolutely. For assessments, most teachers phase the chart out as fluency develops — the blank chart is a good bridge: students may fill in whatever they can from memory at the start of a test and use that as their own reference.

Can I share these charts with my class?

Yes — print and copy freely for classroom and home use.
