Every table from 1 to 20, up to ×10, on one page. It is plain text so it loads fast, reads well on a phone and prints cleanly on A4. Learn a table a week, then play the games below to make the facts automatic.
Start with the easy ones. The tables of 1, 2, 5 and 10 follow simple rules (same number, doubles, ends in 0 or 5, add a zero) and cover almost half of the facts in the 10 by 10 chart.
Use the flip: 6 × 8 is the same as 8 × 6. Once you know a fact you also know its mirror, so there are only 55 truly different facts up to 10 × 10, not 100.
The 9 times table trick: the digits of the answer always add up to 9 (9 × 7 = 63, 6 + 3 = 9). For 9 × n, the tens digit is n − 1, so 9 × 7 starts with 6.
Build harder tables from easier ones. 4s are double the 2s. 8s are double the 4s. 6s are the 5s plus one more group. 12s are 10s plus 2s.
For 11, repeat the digit up to 9 (11, 22, 33, … 99). For tables 12 to 20, split the number: 14 × 6 is 10 × 6 plus 4 × 6, which is 60 + 24 = 84.
Say them aloud, in order and then out of order. Chanting builds rhythm; random questions test real recall. Do both for ten minutes a day rather than an hour once a week.
Practise these tables online
Reading a table is only the first step. Children remember tables when they are asked questions at speed and get instant feedback. These free Maths Guru pages and games do exactly that.

Questions parents ask
Which tables should children know by which class?
Class 2 usually covers the tables of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10. Class 3 completes tables up to 10. In Class 4 and 5 children are encouraged to know 11 to 20, or at least to use the splitting method, since these help with area, percentages and mental calculation.
Why do some people learn tables up to 20?
In India many schools and coaching classes teach pahade up to 20 or even 30, because quick recall of larger tables speeds up mental maths and competitive exams. It is a bonus, not a requirement of the NCERT syllabus.
How long does it take to learn a table?
With ten minutes a day, most children secure an easy table in two or three days and a hard one in a week. Revisit old tables briefly every few days so they do not fade.
Can I print this page?
Yes. The print button gives a clean black-and-white layout with the navigation hidden. Use A4 and select the option to fit the page.
