What the chart is good for

In Year 3, when multiplication is still new, a chart helps children see how the tables fit together. Every row goes up in the same steps. The 5s end in 5 or 0. And the chart is symmetrical: 6 × 9 and 9 × 6 sit in mirror positions and give the same answer, so there are far fewer facts to learn than it first looks. Of the 144 squares, only 78 are different facts.

Looking it up isn’t remembering it

The chart becomes a problem when it never leaves the table. A child who can always look up 7 × 6 gets good at finding squares, but never has to bring the answer back from memory, and that is the part that makes it stick. Ask your child to answer first and use the chart only to check. As each table gets easier, fold it out of sight or cover the row with a sticky note, until the chart isn’t needed at all.

The blank chart: a quick check-up

Hand over the blank chart and a pencil and ask your child to fill in every answer they know, without peeking. No timer the first time round.

Squares filled in straight away are facts your child knows.
Empty squares, and answers worked out by counting, are the facts to practise.
Try it again in a week and compare the two sheets. Fewer empty squares is genuine progress.

Watch the speed as well as the answers. If a fact takes more than two or three seconds, it isn’t memorised yet, even when the answer is right.

Why the chart goes past 10

The Australian Curriculum expects children to recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 by the end of Year 4. Many classrooms and printed charts carry on to 12 × 12, which is why this one does too. If your child is still building up the facts to 10 × 10, start there: the 11s and 12s come more easily once those are solid.

The square numbers on the diagonal are highlighted because they tend to stick well and make good anchors: if your child knows 8 × 8 = 64, then 8 × 9 is just 8 more. Neighbouring facts like 6 × 8 and 7 × 8 can get mixed up, and the blank chart shows you which ones your child confuses.

TabTabTab practises the tables from 0 to 10, the facts the curriculum expects. Your child says each answer out loud, the app listens, and the slow facts come back more often until they’re automatic. For a full plan, read the parents’ guide to learning times tables.
