Patterns that help

  • Twelve 7s is ten 7s plus two 7s: 12 × 7 is 70 + 14 = 84.
  • The 12 times table is the 6 times table doubled: 12 × 8 is double 48, which is 96.
  • Every answer is even.

Already met: 12 × 2, 12 × 3, 12 × 4, 12 × 5, 12 × 8, 12 × 10. These are in tables learnt before Year 4, just the other way round.

New in this table: 12 × 6, 12 × 7, 12 × 9, 12 × 11, 12 × 12.

Practise the 12 times table

12 questions, mixed up: some multiplying, some missing numbers, some dividing. Nothing is timed. After each one you'll see the answer and a quick way to work it out.

A quick way to every fact

If one won't stick, there's nearly always an easier fact one step away.

  • 12 × 6 = 72 Ten 6s plus two 6s: 60 + 12 = 72.
  • 12 × 7 = 84 Ten 7s plus two 7s: 70 + 14 = 84.
  • 12 × 9 = 108 Ten 12s minus one 12: 120 − 12 = 108.
  • 12 × 11 = 132 Eleven 12s is ten 12s plus one more: 120 + 12 = 132.
  • 12 × 12 = 144 Ten 12s plus two 12s: 120 + 24 = 144.

Counting in 12s

Saying the answers in order is the first step. Each one is 12 more than the last.

  1. 0
  2. 12
  3. 24
  4. 36
  5. 48
  6. 60
  7. 72
  8. 84
  9. 96
  10. 108
  11. 120
  12. 132
  13. 144

Division facts for free

Every times table fact gives a division fact too. If you know 12 × 7 = 84, you also know 84 ÷ 12 = 7.

  • 12 ÷ 12 = 1
  • 24 ÷ 12 = 2
  • 36 ÷ 12 = 3
  • 48 ÷ 12 = 4
  • 60 ÷ 12 = 5
  • 72 ÷ 12 = 6
  • 84 ÷ 12 = 7
  • 96 ÷ 12 = 8
  • 108 ÷ 12 = 9
  • 120 ÷ 12 = 10
  • 132 ÷ 12 = 11
  • 144 ÷ 12 = 12

Questions parents ask

When do children learn the 12 times table?

In Year 4, under the national curriculum in England. Year 4 finishes the job: by the end of the year children should know every table up to 12 × 12, ready for the multiplication tables check in June.

Is the 12 times table in the Year 4 multiplication tables check?

Yes. 2 to 4 questions in every check: it is one of the five tables the check leans on most. The check has 25 questions, with six seconds to answer each one.

How can I help my child learn the 12 times table?

Start with what your child already knows. 12 × 2, 12 × 3, 12 × 4, 12 × 5, 12 × 8, 12 × 10 are in tables learnt before Year 4, just the other way round, so that leaves 5 new facts. Learn one pattern at a time. Twelve 7s is ten 7s plus two 7s: 12 × 7 is 70 + 14 = 84. Then practise little and often: a set of twelve questions above takes a few minutes, and every answer shows a quick way to work it out.
