Multiplication Practice
Build speed and accuracy with mental multiplication drills. Choose your difficulty level and question count to start practicing.
Times table mastery is a critical milestone in mathematics education. Students who know their multiplication facts automatically can focus their mental energy on understanding more complex concepts. Our multiplication practice covers basic times tables through multi-digit mental multiplication. Whether you are learning your 2, 5, and 10 times tables or mastering challenging facts like 7×8 and 6×9, our drills provide the repetition needed for automatic recall.

Tips for Mental Multiplication
- 1Learn times tables in order: 2, 5, 10 first, then 3, 4, then 6, 7, 8, 9
- 2Focus on the "hard" facts: 6×7, 6×8, 7×8, 8×9, 7×9 need extra practice
- 3Use patterns: 9× answers digits always sum to 9 (e.g., 9×7=63, 6+3=9)
- 4Practice commutative pairs together: 7×8 and 8×7
- 5Aim for 3-second recall of any times table fact
Frequently Asked Questions
What order should I learn times tables?
Start with 2s, 5s, and 10s (easiest patterns). Then 3s and 4s. Then 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s (hardest). Learn 11s and 12s last if required. This order builds on easier facts to help learn harder ones (e.g., 8× is double 4×).
How long does it take to learn times tables?
With daily 10-minute practice, most students can achieve fluency in 3-6 months. The key is consistency—daily short sessions are far more effective than weekly cramming. Our practice tools track progress and highlight facts that need more work.
My child knows times tables but is slow. How to speed up?
If your child knows the facts but is slow, they may be calculating rather than recalling. Use timed drills with our trainer to build automaticity. Focus especially on facts that take longer than 3 seconds. Competitive elements like beating personal bests can help motivation.
