Tables for kids printable: chart 2 to 10
Read each row across. For example, the row for 7 shows 7 × 1 = 7, 7 × 2 = 14 and so on up to 7 × 10 = 70.
| Table | × 1 | × 2 | × 3 | × 4 | × 5 | × 6 | × 7 | × 8 | × 9 | × 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
| 3 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 | 30 |
| 4 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 | 40 |
| 5 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 |
| 6 | 6 | 12 | 18 | 24 | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 | 60 |
| 7 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 28 | 35 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 |
| 8 | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 | 48 | 56 | 64 | 72 | 80 |
| 9 | 9 | 18 | 27 | 36 | 45 | 54 | 63 | 72 | 81 | 90 |
| 10 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 |
The table of 1 is simply the number itself (1 × 7 = 7), so most charts start at 2. Tables 1 to 10 for kids are the core set that many schools expect by the end of Class 2 or Class 3.
Tables 11 to 20 chart
These are for older or confident children. Many schools introduce tables 11 to 20 in Class 3 or 4, so there is no rush in Class 1 or 2.
| Table | × 1 | × 2 | × 3 | × 4 | × 5 | × 6 | × 7 | × 8 | × 9 | × 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 11 | 22 | 33 | 44 | 55 | 66 | 77 | 88 | 99 | 110 |
| 12 | 12 | 24 | 36 | 48 | 60 | 72 | 84 | 96 | 108 | 120 |
| 13 | 13 | 26 | 39 | 52 | 65 | 78 | 91 | 104 | 117 | 130 |
| 14 | 14 | 28 | 42 | 56 | 70 | 84 | 98 | 112 | 126 | 140 |
| 15 | 15 | 30 | 45 | 60 | 75 | 90 | 105 | 120 | 135 | 150 |
| 16 | 16 | 32 | 48 | 64 | 80 | 96 | 112 | 128 | 144 | 160 |
| 17 | 17 | 34 | 51 | 68 | 85 | 102 | 119 | 136 | 153 | 170 |
| 18 | 18 | 36 | 54 | 72 | 90 | 108 | 126 | 144 | 162 | 180 |
| 19 | 19 | 38 | 57 | 76 | 95 | 114 | 133 | 152 | 171 | 190 |
| 20 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 120 | 140 | 160 | 180 | 200 |
How to print and display a multiplication table chart
- Print from this page: use your browser’s print option (Ctrl + P on a computer, or Share and Print on a phone). Choose A4 and portrait.
- Make a chart by hand: copy one table at a time onto chart paper with a thick marker. Children remember tables they helped to write.
- Use colour: write the answers of the 5s in one colour and the 10s in another. Patterns jump out.
- Put it at eye level: near the study table, on the fridge or next to the bathroom mirror.
- Laminate or use a sheet protector: children can circle answers with a dry-erase marker and wipe them clean.
- Show one table at a time: fold or cover the rest. A full chart can overwhelm a seven-year-old.
5 tricks that make times tables easier
1. The 9s finger trick
Hold up all 10 fingers. For 9 × 4, fold down the 4th finger from the left. There are 3 fingers to the left (tens) and 6 to the right (ones), so 9 × 4 = 36. It works for 9 × 1 to 9 × 10.
Another 9s pattern: the digits of each answer add up to 9 (18: 1 + 8 = 9; 27: 2 + 7 = 9), and the tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by (9 × 7 = 63).
2. The 5s and 10s patterns
Every answer in the 10s table ends in 0: just add a zero (10 × 6 = 60). Every answer in the 5s table ends in 5 or 0. And 5 times a number is half of 10 times it: 5 × 8 is half of 80, which is 40.
3. Doubling
The 2s are doubles (2 × 7 = 14). The 4s are double the 2s: 4 × 7 = double 14 = 28. The 8s are double the 4s: 8 × 7 = double 28 = 56. Three tables learned for the price of one.
4. Swap the numbers
3 × 7 is the same as 7 × 3. Once your child knows the 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s, much of the 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s is already known. Shade the facts they know on the chart; the rest looks much smaller.
5. Build big tables from small ones
The 20s are double the 10s: 20 × 7 = 140. The 12s are the 10s plus the 2s: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84. The 11s up to 11 × 9 repeat the digit: 11 × 6 = 66.

A 4-week chart routine
| Week | Tables | Daily activity (5 to 10 minutes) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2, 5 and 10 | Say the table aloud from the chart, then skip count with claps |
| 2 | 3 and 4 | Cover one answer on the chart and ask for it; use the doubling trick for 4s |
| 3 | 9 and 6 | Practise the 9s finger trick; for 6s, take the 5s answer and add the number once more (6 × 7 = 35 + 7 = 42) |
| 4 | 7 and 8 | Use doubling for 8s; mixed questions from all tables on Saturday |
Slower is fine. Many children take two weeks per table, and that still covers 2 to 10 in a school term. Revise old tables on Saturdays so they stay fresh.

Frequently asked questions
Which tables should a child learn first?
Start with 2, 5 and 10 because they have clear patterns. Then move to 3, 4 and 9, and finish with 6, 7 and 8, which most children find hardest.
At what age should kids learn tables 2 to 10?
Many schools in India start tables in Class 2, around age 7, and expect 2 to 10 by Class 3. Some start the 2s, 5s and 10s in Class 1 through skip counting.
When should children learn tables 11 to 20?
Many schools introduce tables 11 to 20 in Class 3 or 4. Children who know 2 to 10 well can build them using tricks, such as the 20s being double the 10s.
How long does it take to learn tables 2 to 10?
With 5 to 10 minutes a day, most children learn one table a week or every two weeks, so 2 to 10 takes roughly two to four months.
Is a multiplication table chart enough to learn tables?
A chart helps children see patterns and check answers, but they also need to say the tables aloud, play quick games and answer mixed questions until the facts come without counting.
