Slowing down to type numbers into a calculator will actually cause them quite a bit of frustration-so a little hard work upfront will prevent problems in the future. Additionally, multiplication lays the foundation for division, algebra, and many other concepts that will come down the road as they get older. (Think of shopping, bill paying, taxes, investments, loans, etc…). Multiplication is a necessary life skill, and your children will need to calculate daily mental math with speed to make quick decisions. Here is the Printable Multiplication Chart (PDF) from the 1 time table up to the 12 times table, its a Free resource.

This is actually a great question! With the world at our fingertips, and the calculators in our pockets, why even teach multiplication facts to begin with? For me personally, as a homeschooling mom, the answer was simple: LIFE. However, in more formal learning programs, students begin multiplication table memorization in the 3rd grade. Students as young as kindergarten can start practicing their x10 facts as soon as they can count to 100, because they are able to recognize simple number patterns on the hundreds chart. Print these out, cut them up and then share them with your friends or students. Our resources are free and printable in PDF format, and flexible with a wide range of options to extend your student and challenge them as much as you need.

Learning multiplication times tables doesn’t have be for older students only.
