Here we have three great pages on practising the two, five and ten times tables. Begin at the START and put in the answers to the table next to the initial number and continue to work around the board until the FINISH is reached. As each worksheet is on just one of the tables they [...]

The two times table is usually the first table that is learned by children and we start off here with the table just up to 5 times 2. Learning the two times table should follow on from a lot of work on doubling small numbers: see the urbrainy doubling pages for more about this. Many [...]

Because the ten times table is a relatively easy table to learn this game becomes more a game of strategy. Can the player going second win the game? The idea is to get four in a row by working out which numbers need to be multiplied by 10 to get the answers on the grid. [...]

This is the third in our mini series of calculator games which help with learning tables. The answers to the 5x table are on the grid. You have to work out what multiplied by 5 will give these answers. One go at a time, played with a partner and a calculator is used to check [...]

This is a great game to play with your children once they have a good knowledge of the 3x table. The idea of the game is to put four counters in a row, across, down or diagonally, and of course, stop the other player from doing so. Knowledge of the 3x table will help enormously. [...]

This is the first in a series of 2 player calculator games which help with reinforcing knowledge of tables. You will need the grid, a calculator and two sets of coloured counters or cubes. Take turns to choose a number in the grid and say out loud what number you have chosen. Then enter a [...]

This is the first time we have introduced the idea of filling in a multiplication grid, multiplying the numbers across and down to fill in the grid. The first time children come across this they [...]

Once the two times table and ten times table have been learned the next easiest is probably the five times table. Practice first of all with counting up in fives, starting from zero. Then move on to saying the whole table in words. remember to say, ‘One five is five, two fives are ten’ etc [...]
