Times tables can feel like a HUGE list to remember. But here is a secret: you don't have to memorise everything one by one!
With a few clever tricks, your brain can find answers super fast. Let's learn the tricks tutors and exam champions use. 🏆
Tap Next when you're ready. There are little games on the way — try them! 👉
To times a number by 2, just add it to itself. That's "doubling"!
Example: 7 × 2 means 7 + 7 = 14. Easy!
Feed a number into the Doubling Machine and watch it double:
Super combo: ×4 = double, then double again. ×8 = double, double, double! So 6 → 12 → 24 → 48.
The ×5 table always ends in 5 or 0. Hop along the stepping stones, adding 5 each time.
Tap each stone in order to light the path: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30…
Clock trick: a clock counts in 5s! The "6" on a clock is 30 minutes — and 5 × 6 = 30. 🕕
Here's a half-the-work secret: a × b is the same as b × a.
If 8 × 3 looks scary but 3 × 8 feels easy — just flip it! Same answer, less worry.
Tap the card to flip the harder-looking fact into an easier one:
9 × 2? Flip to 2 × 9 = double 9 = 18. Same answer! 🎉
Why it helps: you only ever need to learn HALF the table. Learn 3×8, and you get 8×3 for free!
The 9 times table has a secret finger trick. Hold up all 10 fingers, then fold down the finger you are multiplying by 9.
Tap a finger to fold it for 9 × 3:
Read it off: fingers to the left of the folded one = the tens. Fingers to the right = the ones. Magic! ✨
Stuck on a tricky one? Start from a fact you DO know, then add one more group.
Example: forgot 6 × 7?
Doubles you know help too: 6 × 6 = 36, so 6 × 7 = 36 + 6 = 42. Two paths, same answer!
