Multiplication Flash Cards Printable: Every Times Table

▶1:06

Times tables are the math facts parents search for most, and most free downloads give you one fixed sheet for all of them. The new math fact flash card pages give every table its own page, with the full fact list on screen and a one-click print that loads exactly those cards.

Here is what each deck contains, how the double-sided printing works, and a sensible order for learning the tables. Every page also works as a quick reference: the full fact list sits right on the screen, no printing needed.

How many multiplication flash cards are in each deck?

Every count below is the real number of facts in the deck, and each page states its own definition. Within 20 means every number in the fact, including the answer, stays at 20 or below.

How does double-sided printing work?

The flash card maker prints a page of questions, then a page of answers with every row reversed. When the sheet flips over, the reversal puts each answer directly behind its question.

1. On a times table page, click Print 13 flash cards. The flash card maker opens with all 13 facts loaded.
2. Drop any facts you do not need, and choose how many cards go on a page, from 2 to 9.
3. Keep Print answer backs switched on.
4. Download the PDF and print it double-sided, flipping on the long edge.
5. Cut along the guides. Each card now has its answer on the back.

Card stock makes the cards last through a whole school year, but plain copy paper works for a quick set. On plain paper, choose 4 cards per page so each card is big enough to hold without bending.

How do you practice times tables at home?

Short daily practice works better than one long session. Ten cards a day, a few days a week, is a realistic goal for most kids.

• Three piles

  Go through the deck once and sort cards into fast, slow and not yet. Tomorrow, start with the not yet pile.

• Beat the clock

  Time one pass through a single table. Try to beat that time later in the week, not someone else's.

• Say it both ways

  When 7 x 8 = 56 is easy, flip the card and ask what times 8 makes 56. That turns the same deck into division practice.

• Mix it in

  Once a table is solid, shuffle its cards into the next one so older facts keep coming back.

What order should you learn the times tables in?

Start with the tables that follow a simple rule, then tackle the rest once those feel easy. Each table page includes tips for that table, like the finger trick for the 9s.

• First: 0s, 1s, 2s, 10s, 5s and 9s

  Each has a pattern. Times 0 is always 0, times 1 is the same number, 2s are doubles, 10s add a zero, 5s end in 0 or 5, and the digits of a 9s answer add up to 9.

• Then: 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 11s and 12s

  By now most of these facts are already known from the easier tables. Once the 0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, 9s and 10s are learned, the 7 times table has only a handful of new facts, and 7 x 7 and 7 x 8 are the ones worth extra practice.

The same facts work in other formats. Build a set of math task cards for stations, or add cross math and number search pages in the Worksheet Builder.

The fall puzzle worksheets for kids post has seasonal practice pages too. For guidance on building math fact fluency, see the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many multiplication flash cards are there from 0 to 12?

There are 169 cards if you include every fact from 0 x 0 to 12 x 12. A single times table, such as the 7s, has 13 cards, from 7 x 0 to 7 x 12.

How do I print flash cards with the answers on the back?

Leave Print answer backs switched on in the flash card maker. After each page of questions comes a page of answers with every row reversed, so printing double-sided and flipping on the long edge puts each answer behind its question.

What order should kids learn the times tables in?

A common order is 0s, 1s, 2s, 10s, 5s and 9s first, because each has a simple pattern. The 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 11s and 12s come after. There is no single official order.

Are the math fact flash cards free?

Yes. Every page prints free from the flash card maker. Bigger decks ask for your email once before downloading, and free prints carry a small PuzzlePage.app mark on every card.
