Think of 22 as 20 + 2 and the 22 times table turns into two tables you already know: the 20s and the 2s. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.
Split 22 into 20 and 2: work out the 20s and the 2s, then add them. Split 22 into 20 and 2. 20 × 7 = 140 and 2 × 7 = 14, so 22 × 7 = 140 + 14 = 154.
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.
Split 22 into 20 and 2: work out the 20s and the 2s, then add them.
22 × 7 = 140 + 14 = 154
22 is double 11, so work out the 11 times table answer and double it.
11 × 7 = 77, so 22 × 7 = 154
Know the 21 times table? Add one more lot: 22 × 7 is 21 × 7 plus 7.
147 + 7 = 154
Every answer in the 22 times table is an even number, so it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. An odd answer is always a mistake.
22, 44, 66, 88, 110
Look at the last digit of each answer from 22 × 1 to 22 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.
2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0
22 × 3 is the same as 3 × 22. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.
3 × 22 = 22 × 3 = 66
How each answer is found, step by step.
Split 22 into 20 and 2. 20 × 6 = 120 and 2 × 6 = 12, so 22 × 6 = 120 + 12 = 132.
The order does not matter: 7 × 22 is the same as 22 × 7. Split 22 into 20 and 2. 20 × 7 = 140 and 2 × 7 = 14, so 22 × 7 = 140 + 14 = 154.
Split 22 into 20 and 2. 20 × 12 = 240 and 2 × 12 = 24, so 22 × 12 = 240 + 24 = 264.
Split 22 into 20 and 2. 20 × 17 = 340 and 2 × 17 = 34, so 22 × 17 = 340 + 34 = 374.
Ask how many 22s make 176. You know 22 × 8 = 176, so the answer is 8.
Ask how many 22s make 308. Divide to find it: 308 ÷ 22 = 14.
Spotting that a story needs 22 × 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 — 22 × 7 is also in the 7 times table.
