How to learn the 12 times table

1

10s plus 2s

12 × is 10 × plus 2 ×. For 7 × 12: 70 + 14 = 84.

2

Double the 6s

Every 12 fact is a 6 fact doubled. 6 × 6 = 36, so 6 × 12 = 72.

3

Spot the pattern

The last digits go 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, then start again.

A tip for parents

Accuracy first, speed later. Five calm minutes a day beats a long, stressful session. Start in Training mode with no timer, and switch to Match only once your child gets most answers right.
