Think of 13 as 10 + 3 and the 13 times table turns into two tables you already know: the 10s and the 3s. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.
Split 13 into 10 and 3: work out the 10s and the 3s, then add them. Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 7 = 70 and 3 × 7 = 21, so 13 × 7 = 70 + 21 = 91.
Work through the activities from left to right. Each one asks a little more of you, and a tick appears when you finish it. Your progress is saved on this device.
Pick the trick that clicks for you. Each one is a different way to the same answer.

Know the 12 times table? Add one more lot: 13 × 7 is 12 × 7 plus 7.
84 + 7 = 91
Look at the last digit of each answer from 13 × 1 to 13 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.
3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0
13 × 3 is the same as 3 × 13. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.
3 × 13 = 13 × 3 = 39
Each answer is 13 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.
13, 26, 39, 52, 65
13 × 13 = 169 is a square number: 13 rows of 13 make a perfect square. Square facts are good anchors to work from.
13 × 13 = 169
How each answer is found, step by step.
Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 6 = 60 and 3 × 6 = 18, so 13 × 6 = 60 + 18 = 78.
The order does not matter: 7 × 13 is the same as 13 × 7. Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 7 = 70 and 3 × 7 = 21, so 13 × 7 = 70 + 21 = 91.
Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 12 = 120 and 3 × 12 = 36, so 13 × 12 = 120 + 36 = 156.
Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 17 = 170 and 3 × 17 = 51, so 13 × 17 = 170 + 51 = 221.
Ask how many 13s make 104. You know 13 × 8 = 104, so the answer is 8.
Ask how many 13s make 182. Divide to find it: 182 ÷ 13 = 14.
Spotting that a story needs 13 × something is a skill of its own. Work each one out first, then open the answer.

Make a sheet with one or more full times tables to learn from, or with gaps to fill in. Print it, save it as a PDF from the print dialog, or download a picture.
Build a proper test: mix question types, add word problems and a time limit, and print a separate answer key for marking. Every press of New exam gives a fresh paper.
Every fact you learn here turns up in another table too — 13 × 7 is also in the 7 times table.
