About this chart

A times table chart is a map before it is a memory aid. Reading across a row and down a column to the square where they meet shows a child what multiplication actually is — rows of equal groups — long before the facts are automatic. The shaded diagonal marks the square numbers, 1×1 through 12×12, which is the line children tend to learn first and the easiest landmark for finding their place on a busy grid.

The chart goes to twelve rather than ten on purpose. Ten is where most classroom tables stop, but twelves keep turning up in real life — a dozen eggs, months in a year, inches in a foot — and a child who has seen the extra two columns is not startled by them later.

Look down any column and the pattern in the last digits does the teaching for you: fives alternate 5 and 0, tens always end in 0, nines count down as the tens count up. Pointing at one of those patterns is worth more than another round of flashcards.
