Multiplication by 12 worksheets
The twelve times table is two easier tables added together, which is why it feels harder than it needs to. These free printable worksheets drill the whole twelve times table, 12 × 1 through 12 × 12 — the last of the traditional times tables.

What's on this sheet
The strategy is to split every twelve into a ten and a two. 12 × 7 is 10 × 7 = 70 plus 2 × 7 = 14, which add to 84. Both halves come from tables a child already owns cold, so no twelve fact ever has to be memorized on its own — it is always built from two facts that are already automatic.
Why this sheet works
That single move handles the hardest facts on the page. 12 × 8 is 80 plus 16 = 96; 12 × 12 is 120 plus 24 = 144. Written out this way, the biggest fact in the traditional grid, 12 × 12, turns into two additions a grade-3 child can do in their head.
How this one works
One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.
7 × 12
7×12
7 × 12=12 × 7
7 × 5=35
7 × 7=49
35+49=84
7×12=84
- 7 × 12 means 7 groups with 12 in each one — 7 rows of 12. The answer counts everything in all of them, not one row.
- Added up, that is 12 written 7 times — nobody wants to do that. Turn it round: 12 × 7 is the same amount, and it is only 12 lots of 7 to add instead.
- If 7 × 12 will not come, split the 12 at five: 7 × 5 = 35, and 7 × 7 = 49. Together that is 35 + 49 = 84.
- So 7 × 12 = 84.
