The 9 times table

  1. 1 × 9 = 9
  2. 2 × 9 = 18
  3. 3 × 9 = 27
  4. 4 × 9 = 36
  5. 5 × 9 = 45
  6. 6 × 9 = 54
  7. 7 × 9 = 63
  8. 8 × 9 = 72
  9. 9 × 9 = 81
  10. 10 × 9 = 90
  11. 11 × 9 = 99
  12. 12 × 9 = 108

Patterns that help

  • Nine 7s is ten 7s take away one 7: 9 × 7 is 70 − 7 = 63.
  • Up to 9 × 10, the digits of each answer add up to 9: 9 × 6 = 54, and 5 + 4 = 9.
  • Up to 9 × 10, the tens digit is one less than the number you're timesing by: in 9 × 6 = 54, the 5 is one less than 6.
  • The finger trick: hold up ten fingers and fold down the seventh. Six fingers on the left, three on the right: 9 × 7 = 63.

Already met: 9 × 2, 9 × 3, 9 × 4, 9 × 5, 9 × 8, 9 × 10. These are in tables learnt before Year 4, just the other way round.

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

Practise the 9 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.

  • 9 × 6 = 54 Ten 6s minus one 6: 60 − 6 = 54.
  • 9 × 7 = 63 Ten 7s minus one 7: 70 − 7 = 63.
  • 9 × 9 = 81 Ten 9s minus one 9: 90 − 9 = 81.
  • 9 × 11 = 99 Eleven 9s is the digit twice: 99.
  • 9 × 12 = 108 Ten 12s minus one 12: 120 − 12 = 108.

Counting in 9s

Saying the answers in order is the first step. Each one is 9 more than the last.

  1. 0
  2. 9
  3. 18
  4. 27
  5. 36
  6. 45
  7. 54
  8. 63
  9. 72
  10. 81
  11. 90
  12. 99
  13. 108

Division facts for free

Every times table fact gives a division fact too. If you know 9 × 7 = 63, you also know 63 ÷ 9 = 7.

  • 9 ÷ 9 = 1
  • 18 ÷ 9 = 2
  • 27 ÷ 9 = 3
  • 36 ÷ 9 = 4
  • 45 ÷ 9 = 5
  • 54 ÷ 9 = 6
  • 63 ÷ 9 = 7
  • 72 ÷ 9 = 8
  • 81 ÷ 9 = 9
  • 90 ÷ 9 = 10
  • 99 ÷ 9 = 11
  • 108 ÷ 9 = 12

Questions parents ask

When do children learn the 9 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 9 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 9 times table?

Start with what your child already knows. 9 × 2, 9 × 3, 9 × 4, 9 × 5, 9 × 8, 9 × 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. Nine 7s is ten 7s take away one 7: 9 × 7 is 70 − 7 = 63. 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.
