Many people struggle with math when they’re first starting to learn the basics. That’s why “hating” math is rather normal. Still, with the increasing number of tools and improved methods that are available nowadays, we know that there’s a better chance of avoiding this. Whether you’re trying to learn or teach multiplication, those tools are the best to avoid the hassle of learning this procedure, giving you better ways of approaching its use.

If you want to be prepared to use multiplication with ease, to help someone learn it or to pass next week’s school test, these tables will certainly work to achieve it.
What are the tools available?
Multiplication is simple; it’s a way we resume addition easily, whenever it repeats itself constantly. To further explain this idea we can also use written numbers; writing 4×5 is shorter than writing 5+5+5+5. Now, that’s a fairly easy concept to grasp, the slightly hard part is memorizing each result. It’s not impossible though, and the best methods to achieve it are:
- Multiplication tables: We’ve created several versions of multiplication tables in both PDF and JPG. They are available in two formats; blank multiplication tables and tables from 1 to 20.
- Multiplication charts: They are a slightly different method that uses cross-referencing the numbers above and to the left side. The result of the multiplication is wherever both lines meet. They are available in five formats; tables from 1 to 12, 1 to 15, 1 to 20, 1 to 30, and 1 to 100.
- Printable multiplication worksheets: They are a set of sheets we’ve created with the purpose of testing the multiplication level of its user. They come in simple, intermediate, and advanced versions. It’s the best way of testing multiplication knowledge after practicing with the tables or charts. Download them here.
