Times table chart
Print a multiplication chart to pin up or paste in the front of a book. Choose the 10 × 10 or the full 12 × 12 grid, optionally shade one table so its row and column stand out, add your own heading, and download a US Letter or A4 PDF.
Pick a size, shade a table if you want one to stand out, then download the PDF — no account needed.
Shading a table paints its whole row and column, so the commutative pairs — 7 × 4 and 4 × 7 — sit visibly opposite each other.
Nothing on a reference chart is randomised, so the same settings always print an identical page — and there is no answer key, because the chart is one.
How it works
- Choose the 10 × 10 or 12 × 12 grid.
- Optionally shade one times table so its row and column stand out.
- Download the PDF, print it, or copy a share link that restores these settings.
Using these worksheets in teaching
A times table chart is a reference, and the useful question is what a child does while looking at it. Used as a lookup table it teaches very little; used as a map it teaches a great deal, because the patterns are all visible at once — the tens column, the fives ending in 0 and 5, the squares running down the diagonal, and the fact that the grid is symmetrical about that diagonal, which halves the number of facts to learn. Point at the diagonal early: knowing 7 × 4 means knowing 4 × 7, and children who have not noticed that are carrying twice the load they need to. Shading one table turns the chart into this week's focus without printing anything new. Keep a copy on the wall and a copy in the book, and expect it to be needed less as fluency arrives rather than removing it on a timetable.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I print the 10 × 10 or the 12 × 12 chart?
- 10 × 10 where the tables stop at ten, which is the usual expectation in US classrooms, and for younger children who find the larger grid busy; 12 × 12 if the tables to twelve are being learned. The two charts are otherwise identical in layout, so a class can move from one to the other without relearning where to look.
- What does shading a table do?
- It shades the whole row and the whole column for that table, so the 7s stand out as a cross through the grid. It is the quickest way to make a chart useful for the table being worked on this week without printing a separate sheet, and it makes the commutative pairs — 7 × 4 and 4 × 7 — sit visibly opposite each other.
- Is this a worksheet or a reference chart?
- A reference chart: every product is printed, so there is nothing to answer and no answer key. If you want the blanks, use the multiplication worksheet generator instead — it produces questions with an answer key from the same tables.
- Will the chart print the same every time?
- Yes, exactly. There is nothing random in a reference chart, so the same settings always produce a byte-identical page — a chart printed today matches the one already on the wall.
- Can I add my own heading?
- Yes. Type a heading and it replaces the default one; leave it blank and the chart prints as "Multiplication chart". Name and date lines can be switched off for a wall copy.
