Subjects for Times Tables

This section includes quizzes for every table from 2 to 12, plus a mixed test. Titles clearly describe the focus of each quiz and all content aligns with the KS2 maths curriculum for Years 3–6.

Why Learn Times Tables?

Fluent recall makes mental maths easier – at school and in everyday life. Whether you’re splitting a box of chocolate bars fairly or working out how many bags of oranges you need, quick multiplication facts save time and reduce mistakes.

How to Practise Effectively

• Little and often – short daily sessions beat occasional long ones.
• Spot patterns – 5s end in 0 or 5; 10s add a zero; 11s repeat up to 9 × 11.
• Link facts – use division to check multiplication and vice versa.
• Mix it up – alternate single-table focus with the mixed quiz to build flexible recall.
