How to read a multiplication chart
Find one number down the side and the other along the top. Follow the row across and the column down: the square where they meet is the answer. For 6 × 8, go across from 6 and down from 8 to 48.

It’s the same both ways
The chart is a mirror along its diagonal: 6 × 8 and 8 × 6 are both 48. So there are only 78 different facts to learn, not 144.
- 2
Square numbers
Down the diagonal are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25: a number times itself. Light them up above and see the mirror line.

Each row counts on
Every row goes up by the same amount each step: the 7s row counts 7, 14, 21. Children who can count in 7s can find any 7s fact.
- 4
Rows that help each other
The 4s row is double the 2s, the 8s double the 4s, and the 6s double the 3s. Learn one and the other is close.
One table at a time
A chart is for looking up. To learn the facts, take one table at a time: each page has its own chart, the trick that helps and a game.

Questions parents ask
How do you use a multiplication chart?
Find one number down the side and the other along the top, and follow them to where they meet. That square is the answer.
Is it OK for my child to use a multiplication chart for homework?
Yes, while they’re learning: looking a fact up and saying it is still practice. Then cover the answers and see what they remember, which is what makes facts stick.
Why do charts go to 12 × 12?
Common Core expects facts to 9 × 9 by the end of 3rd grade, but many schools go to 12 × 12, which helps with time, money and measuring.
Can I print it?
Yes, free, in color or black and white, or blank for your child to fill in. It prints on one page.
Looking it up is a start
Thena teaches why 6 × 8 is 48, drawn on her board, so it makes sense rather than being one more thing to remember.
