What you need
Steps
Write the table you want to learn at the top of a page, for example the 7 times table from 7 x 1 to 7 x 10.
Say each line out loud as you write it, so your ears and eyes learn the pattern together.
Look for the pattern in the answers. In the 7 table the last digits go 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
Cover the answers with your hand and recite the table from memory, checking each line as you go.
Practise the table backwards too, starting from 7 x 10 and going down to 7 x 1.
Mix the order by asking yourself random questions like 7 x 6 or 7 x 9, without saying the whole table first.
Repeat the same table for five minutes the next day, then move on to the next number.
Test yourself weekly on all the tables you have learned, writing the answers without looking.
Tips and common mistakes
Learn one table at a time instead of trying to memorise all 20 at once.
Say the table out loud, because speaking helps you remember the rhythm of the numbers.
Practise a little every day rather than a long session once a week.
Write down the sums you get wrong and repeat those lines more often.
Questions
How long does it take to learn all tables up to 20?
With about 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice, most people can learn a new table in a few days. All 20 tables usually take a few weeks of regular revision.
What if I keep forgetting a table?
Go back to writing and saying it out loud, then test yourself in small chunks of five lines. Repeating the same table on several days works better than one long session.
Do I need to learn tables up to 20?
Tables up to 10 cover most everyday sums. Learning up to 20 helps with faster mental maths and long multiplication and division.
