Multiplication Chart 1–12 & 1–20 (Free Printable)
This is a complete 1–12 multiplication chart — every times table from 1 through 12, laid out in one grid — with a full 1–20 chart further down for bigger problems. Use it as a quick lookup while your child practices, or print it out to keep on a desk or in a binder.

How to Read the Chart
To find any multiplication fact, pick one factor from the top row and the other factor from the left column, then slide your finger across the row and down the column until they meet. That square holds the answer — no counting on fingers required once the row-and-column method clicks.
Look closely and the grid is a mirror image of itself across the diagonal, because a × b always equals b × a. That single fact — commutativity — cuts the memorization work roughly in half: once a child knows 6 × 9 = 54, they already know 9 × 6 = 54 too.
The lightly highlighted squares running from top-left to bottom-right are the square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, 25 and so on). They sit right on the line of symmetry and are usually the fastest facts to lock in, since each is just one number multiplied by itself.
Patterns That Make the Chart Easy
The fastest way to learn the chart is to stop seeing 144 separate facts and start seeing a handful of patterns. The 10s column just adds a zero. The 5s column always ends in 5 or 0. The 9s column has a famous trick: the digits of every answer add up to 9 (18, 27, 36…), and the tens digit is always one less than the number you multiplied. The 4s are the 2s doubled, and the 8s are the 4s doubled — so a child who knows 2 × 7 = 14 can reach 8 × 7 by doubling twice.
An easy-first learning order that follows those patterns: 1s and 10s, then 2s, 5s, 4s, 8s, 3s, 6s, 9s, and finally the 7s — by the time the 7s arrive, most of the column is already known from the mirror facts. Our guide to teaching multiplication walks through this order step by step.
Multiplication Chart 1–20
Need the bigger grid? This 1–20 multiplication chart covers homework that reaches past 12 and lets you see the patterns continue. (Facts beyond 12 are usually computed rather than memorized — keep the 1–12 chart for daily practice and use this one as a reference.) When printing, this chart starts on its own page.

Common Questions
How do I use a multiplication chart?
Pick a row for one factor and a column for the other, then find the square where they meet — that square is the product. For example, to find 7 × 8, find row 7, find column 8, and read the number where they cross: 56.
Why is the chart symmetrical?
Because multiplication is commutative — 7 × 8 gives the same answer as 8 × 7. That symmetry across the diagonal means a child only has to truly memorize about half the grid; the other half is a mirror image they already know.
What do the highlighted diagonal squares mean?
The highlighted squares running corner to corner are the "square numbers" (1×1, 2×2, 3×3 and so on). They mark the line of symmetry and are often the easiest facts to memorize first, since each one only involves a single number multiplied by itself.
Do kids need a 1–20 multiplication chart, or is 1–12 enough?
For memorization, 1–12 is the standard goal in most curricula — facts beyond 12 are computed, not memorized. The 1–20 chart is useful as a reference for bigger homework problems, for spotting patterns continuing past 12, and for older kids checking long multiplication. Print the 1–12 for daily practice and keep the 1–20 as a lookup.
How do I print the chart?
Press the Print button above the chart (or use your browser’s Print command). Buttons and navigation are hidden in print, and the 1–20 chart starts on its own page — so if you only want the classic 1–12 grid, print just the first page. Both charts fit A4 and US Letter.
