Free Times Tables Worksheets

Students who are first learning multiplication often have difficulty with this operation. Demonstrate to students that multiplication is essentially a quick way of adding groups. For example, if they have five groups of three marbles each, students could solve the problem by determining the sum of the groups: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3. If the students know how to multiply, however, they can much more quickly calculate that five groups of three can be represented by the equation 5 x 3, which equals 15. 

The free worksheets below offer students plenty of opportunities to hone their multiplication skills. First, print the multiplication table in slide No. 1. Use it to help students learn their multiplication facts. The subsequent slides feature printables that give students a chance to practice one- and two-digit multiplication facts to 12. Use manipulatives—physical items such as gummy bears, poker chips, or small cookies—to show students how to create groups (such as seven groups of three) so they can observe in a concrete way that multiplication is just a quick way of adding groups. Consider using other teaching tools, such as flashcards, to help boost student multiplication skills.

If not, review how to solve multiplication problems and let students repeat some of the previous worksheets.
