Short answer
The 1 times table is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Each answer is 1 more than the one before it, so you can also find the table by skip counting by 1. 1 × 6 = 6 and 1 × 12 = 12. Multiplying by 1 means one group of the number, so the answer is the number itself.

Skip counting by 1
Start at 1 and add 1 each time. Saying the numbers out loud, forwards and then backwards, is a quick way to learn the table.

Patterns that make the 1 times table easier
Any number times 1 stays the same
1 × 6 = 6 and 1 × 12 = 12. Multiplying by 1 means one group of the number, so the answer is the number itself.
It works both ways
6 × 1 and 1 × 6 are both 6. The order of the two numbers never changes the answer in multiplication.
A good place to explain what "times" means
Use counters: 1 × 4 is one group of four, 4 × 1 is four groups of one. Both make 4.

Questions and answers
What is the 1 times table?
The 1 times table is the list of answers you get when you multiply 1 by 1, 2, 3 and so on. Up to 12 it is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
What is 1 times 12?
1 × 12 = 12. Some schools teach each table up to 10 and others up to 12, so it is worth learning both 1 × 11 = 11 and 1 × 12 = 12.
How do you skip count by 1?
Start at 1 and add 1 each time: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Skip counting by 1 gives the same numbers as the 1 times table.
Which facts in the 1 times table should I practice most?
Children usually need the most practice with the facts that have larger numbers, such as 1 × 7 = 7, 1 × 8 = 8, 1 × 1 = 1. Practice a few at a time, mixed with facts the child already knows.
How is the 1 times table used for division?
Every multiplication fact gives two division facts. Because 1 × 6 = 6, you also know 6 ÷ 1 = 6 and 6 ÷ 6 = 1.
