Short answer
The 12 times table is 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144. Each answer is 12 more than the one before it, so you can also find the table by skip counting by 12. 12 × 7 is 10 × 7 plus 2 × 7: 70 + 14 = 84. This works for every fact in the table.

Patterns that make the 12 times table easier
Ten times plus two times
12 × 7 is 10 × 7 plus 2 × 7: 70 + 14 = 84. This works for every fact in the table.
Double the 6 times table
12 × 4 is double 6 × 4: double 24 is 48.
Dozens
Twelve is a dozen. 12 × 2 is two dozen eggs, 24. There are also 12 months in a year and 12 inches in a foot, so this table turns up in real life.

Questions and answers
What is the 12 times table?
The 12 times table is the list of answers you get when you multiply 12 by 1, 2, 3 and so on. Up to 12 it is 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144.
What is 12 times 12?

Which facts in the 12 times table should I practice most?
Children usually need the most practice with the facts that have larger numbers, such as 12 × 7 = 84, 12 × 8 = 96, 12 × 9 = 108. Practice a few at a time, mixed with facts the child already knows.
How is the 12 times table used for division?
Every multiplication fact gives two division facts. Because 12 × 6 = 72, you also know 72 ÷ 12 = 6 and 72 ÷ 6 = 12.
