Steps
Write 12 x 1 down to 12 x 12 in a column on your paper, leaving a gap after each line for the answer.
Split 12 into 10 plus 2. For each row, find ten times the number by adding a zero, then find double the number.
Add the two parts. For 12 x 7, ten times 7 is 70 and double 7 is 14, so 70 plus 14 gives 84.
Check the ones digit against the pattern 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, which repeats all the way down the table.
Watch the row for 12 x 5, which is 60. The tens digit jumps by two there because the ones digit rolls over to zero.
Use the same split for the last rows: 110 plus 22 is 132, and 120 plus 24 is 144.
Say the finished table aloud twice from top to bottom, then cover the answers and write them out from memory.
Test yourself in mixed order, such as 12 x 9, 12 x 4 and 12 x 12, so you know the answers instead of just reciting them.
Tips and common mistakes
Say the split out loud as you go, ten times plus double, until the two steps happen in your head without writing.
Practise for five minutes a day rather than one long session, since short repeat visits fix the table faster.
If an answer feels wrong, work backwards by subtracting double the number and checking you land on a round ten times value.
Questions
What is the quickest trick for the 12 times table?
Treat 12 as 10 plus 2. Multiply the number by 10, double it, then add the two results. For 12 x 8 that is 80 plus 16, giving 96.
Why do the answers always end in 2, 4, 6, 8, 0?
Because you are adding 12 each time, and 12 ends in 2. Adding 2 to the ones digit cycles it through 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and then repeats.
How long does it take to learn the 12 times table?
Most people get it in a few short sessions spread over a week. The split trick makes it fast, but you still need to recall the answers without the trick.
