Multiplication Table Generator

Step 1 / 2 Table size

Build a tidy multiplication table for the 7 times, the 12 times, or the full 1-20 grid. Pick the base number or range, choose how many rows you want, and get a printable chart that works for classroom drills, homework checks, and fridge-door practice.

How to generate a multiplication table

  1. 1

    Choose the base

    Enter the number you want to multiply by, or pick a range like 1-12.

  2. 2

    Set the row count

    Decide how far the table runs, typically up to 10, 12 or 20.

  3. 3

    Generate the grid

    The tool lays out every product in order so you can scan or memorise.

  4. 4

    Print or copy

    Send the chart to a printer, save as PDF, or copy the numbers into a spreadsheet.

The classic 12 x 12 grid

Most school curricula stop at 12 because it covers the dozen, common time conversions and most mental maths kids will need before algebra. Beyond 12, products grow fast and rote memorisation loses value compared with pattern recognition.

Base Pattern you can lean on
2 Double the number
5 Ends in 0 or 5
9 Digits of product sum to 9
10 Append a zero
11 Repeat the digit up to 9

Practice tips

  • Start with the easy columns. Kids learn 2, 5 and 10 first, which covers about a third of the grid.
  • Work the diagonals. The squares (3 x 3, 7 x 7, 12 x 12) anchor memory and the rest fills in around them.
  • Use two colours. Mark the pairs that are commutative (4 x 7 and 7 x 4) the same colour so only half the grid needs memorising.
  • Print small. A compact 12 x 12 grid on a single A4 beats a giant wall chart for daily practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

For primary school, 1-12 covers almost every scenario. For secondary-level mental maths, extend to 1-20 so students recognise products like 15 x 15 and 17 x 13 on sight.

Yes. Use your browser print preview and enable “print backgrounds” if you want the grid lines to show. The layout is designed to fit on a single sheet.

Both are valid. Starting at 0 reinforces that any number times zero is zero, which matters for algebra later. Starting at 1 gives a denser grid of useful facts for drilling.

Yes. Hold up ten fingers, fold down the finger matching the multiplier, and the fingers left on each side give the tens and units. It works up to 9 x 10.
