Steps
Write the tables from 2 to 12 on paper, or print a chart. Keep it on your desk so you can read it for a few minutes every day.
Start with the 2, 5 and 10 tables. They follow easy patterns: the 2 table doubles, the 5 table ends in 5 or 0, and the 10 table adds a zero.
Read one table aloud, line by line, from 2 x 1 up to 2 x 12. Say each answer clearly and point at it as you speak.
Cover the answers with your hand and recite the same table from memory. Uncover the page and check every line before moving on.
Use the 9 table trick: the digits of each answer add up to 9, the tens digit goes up and the units digit goes down. So 9 x 4 = 36.
Work through 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 one table at a time. Only add a new table when you can say the last one without looking.
Mix the order. Ask someone to call out random sums such as 7 x 8 or 12 x 4, and answer out loud without the chart.
Finish with a written test of 20 mixed sums from the 2 to 12 tables. Mark your answers and rewrite any sum you got wrong.
Tips and common mistakes
Ten focused minutes every day beats one long session a week, so keep the practice short and regular.
Say the tables out loud rather than only reading them, because hearing the pattern helps it stick.
The 7, 8 and 12 tables are the ones people forget most, so give them extra rounds in your random quiz.
If you blank on a sum like 6 x 7, go to the table below it (6 x 6 = 36) and add 6 to get the answer.
Questions
How long does it take to learn tables 2 to 12?
Most people need two to three weeks of short daily practice. Learn two or three tables well before adding more.
Which table should I learn first?
Begin with 2, 5 and 10 because the patterns are easiest to spot. Then move on to 3, 4 and 11, and save 6, 7, 8 and 12 for last.
What if I forget a table in the middle of an exam?
Recite it from the start, or build up from a sum you do know. For example, 8 x 7 is 8 x 5 plus 8 x 2, which is 40 plus 16, so 56.
