Using a multiplication chart is a great way to learn multiplication of numbers. It's a handy reference that with continued use helps a child memorize their multiplication facts. Quiz your child regularly with our multiplication chart to help them succeed at school.
How to Use The Multiplication Chart

Step One – Choose a number from the left hand column of the chart (directly under the X)
Step Two – Choose the number you want to multiply your first number with from the row across the top of the chart (directly next to the X)
Step Three – Go along the row from the left hand column number, then go directly down the column from the top row number until both the column and the row meet at one square. That is your answer.
For example: if we chose the number 6 on the left hand column (it's in blue) and the number 7 on the top row (it's in green), we would go across the row from the 6 on the side while going down the column from the number 7 at the top. The box they meet at has the number 42 in it, which tells you that 6 times 7 equals 42.
Throughout this article we have also included some extremely cute times tables to make it a bit more fun. Please enjoy!

How to Help a Child Struggling with Multiplication
Mastering multiplication is essential to your child's success in school. Their ability to perform higher-level mathematical functions is dependent on their ability to multiply. If your child is struggling with multiplication, check out these tips to help them out.
First, make sure you're practicing their multiplication tables frequently enough. Definitely give them a break here and there, but quiz them frequently enough for the concept to fully take hold. If you don't quiz them frequently enough, it'll take longer for them to properly grasp this subject.
If quizzing them frequently isn't helping, it may be time to get them a tutor. A tutor can help them master multiplication, along with any other topic that they're struggling with. Tutors are experts in their subjects. They can also help build your child's confidence, so that they're able to face their math tests without anxiety.
Tutors are available both in-person and online. Online tutors have become increasingly popular, due to their convenience and accessibility. However, they tend to be more expensive than in-person tutors. Ultimately, pick the tutoring method that works best for your child and your budget. Explore your options before settling on one. If you're having a hard time getting started, talk to your child's teacher and ask for recommendations.
