✖️ Multiplication Chart Maker: Filled, Blank or Partly Blank

How to use it

1. 1. Choose the size

   Pick how far the chart goes, anywhere from 5 by 5 to 20 by 20. A 10 by 10 or 12 by 12 chart is the usual choice for primary school.

2. 2. Choose the kind

   Filled in gives a reference chart. Empty gives a blank grid for children to complete. Partly empty hides some answers at random, and the slider sets how many.

3. 3. Highlight a times table

   Type a number such as 7 to highlight its row and column, so children can see that 7 × 4 and 4 × 7 meet at the same answer.

4. 4. Make it and print

   Press Make the chart, then Print the chart. For a worksheet, tick the answer key box and it prints on its own second page. New random blanks gives another version.

Ideas for class and home

• A reference chart for the desk

  Print a filled in chart for each child to keep in their maths folder, with the times table they are learning highlighted.

• Fill-in homework

  Print an empty chart for a quick test of what children know. They can fill in the squares they are sure of first and come back to the rest.

• Differentiated worksheets

  Make one partly empty chart with 30 percent hidden for children who need support, and another with 70 percent hidden for those who are ready for more.

• Spot the patterns

  Highlight the 9 times table and look at the digits in each answer. Children notice that the digits always add up to 9 and describe patterns in the rows.
