In what order should you learn the times tables?

Most teachers start with the tables that have the clearest patterns and then use them to unlock the harder ones. A good order is 1, 10, 2, 5, 11, then 3, 4, 9, and finally 6, 7, 8 and 12.

By the time you reach the 7 times table, you already know most of it: 7 × 2 is in the 2s, 7 × 5 is in the 5s, and 7 × 10 is in the 10s. Only a handful of facts are really new.

After 12, the bigger tables are built from the small ones. The 13 times table is the 10s plus the 3s, the 15s are the 10s plus the 5s, and the 20s are the 2s with a zero on the end.

How many times tables are there?
In school, children usually learn the tables from 1 to 10 or 1 to 12. This site goes up to the 30 times table, and each table can be practised up to × 200.
Which times table is the hardest?
Most children find the 7, 8 and 12 times tables hardest, especially 7 × 8, 6 × 7 and 8 × 6. The good news is that by then you already know most of their facts from other tables.
How long does it take to learn the times tables?
With five minutes of practice a day, most children learn a new table in one to two weeks. Learning them all up to 12 usually takes a school year or two.
