The multiplication table chart is that table that displays the multiplication of two numbers. The chart above is printable and can be downloaded with one click. We have made it easier for students to learn multiplication tables using multiplication chart. Which multiplication do you still struggle with? What tricks helped you remember your multiples? And is there any easy way to tackle those tricky 8x and 12x tables? Let us know in the comments below.Memorizing tables is a task that most of the kids don’t like. Pupils found their 12x table toughest, with wrong answers 34% of the time, and – as you'd hope – their 1x easiest (8% errors), followed by 2x and 10x (12% apiece) Times tablesĪs to which times table – rather than individual multiplication – was trickiest, the answers are in the graphic below. Girls, by contrast, got substantially fewer wrong, at 22%, but took 4.6 seconds on average to answer. On average, boys got 32% of answers wrong, and took 4.2 seconds to answer each question. In short, boys answer more quickly, but get more wrong, when compared to girls. The research also dug up some statistically significant different between boys and girls. Maybe unsurprisingly, 1x1 got answered the quickest (but perhaps illustrating the hazards of speed, pupils got it wrong about 10% of the time), at 2.4 seconds on average – while it was 12x9 which made them think for longest, at an average of 7.9 seconds apiece.Īgain, we've put the full results into a grid below: Boys versus girls The app also monitored how long the students took to answer each question – which again varied a lot.

Dark blue signifies the ones pupils found easiest, dark red the hardest – and hover over any of the squares to see exactly how pupils did. The full interactive grid of how students did with different multiplications is below. The easiest multiplication, on the other hand, was 1x12, which students got wrong less than 5% of the time, followed by 1圆 and 9x1.

Caddington Village's pupils got it right 53% of the time. Pupils found 8x7 nearly as tricky as former education minister Stephen Byers, who once famously answered that particular sum incorrectly. This was closely followed by 8圆, then 11x12, 12x8 and 8x12. The hardest multiplication was six times eight, which students got wrong 63% of the time (about two times out of three). But that varied hugely for different times tables. The good news is the children got the right answer much more often than not: overall, they got about 75% of the questions right – a bright bunch. The data is generated by an app produced by an app developed by education tech firm Flurrish, and in total the 232 children who participated produced more than 60,000 answers. But some new data generated by pupils at Caddington Village School in Bedford sheds light on which multiplications are actually the hardest – and how kids do overall.
