What are ‘multiplication facts’? Why are they essential to your child’s success in maths?

Tuesday, February 13, 2024

One of the essential skills students need to master in primary school mathematics are “multiplication facts”. What are they? What are they so important? And how can you help your child master them? What are multiplication facts? Multiplication facts typically describe the answers to multiplication sums up to 10x10.

Key Points: 


One of the essential skills students need to master in primary school mathematics are “multiplication facts”. What are they? What are they so important? And how can you help your child master them?

What are multiplication facts?

  • Multiplication facts typically describe the answers to multiplication sums up to 10x10.
  • You may recall learning multiplication facts in school from a list of times tables.
  • In contrast, we hope today’s students can use their multiplication facts knowledge to quickly see how 15x8 is equivalent to 10x8 plus 5x8.

Maths education has changed

  • In a previous piece, we talked about how mathematics education has changed over the past 30 years.
  • How your child's maths education might be very different from yours

Why are multiplication facts so important?

  • By the end of primary school, it is expected students will know multiplication facts up to 10x10 and can recall the related division fact (for example, 10x9=90, therefore 90÷10=9).
  • Learning multiplication facts is also essential for developing “multiplicative thinking”.
  • So, supporting your child to develop their confidence and proficiency with multiplication is key to their success in high school mathematics.
  • Below are three research-based tips to help support children from Year 2 and beyond to learn their multiplication facts.

1. Discuss strategies

  • One way to help your child’s confidence is to discuss strategies for when they encounter new multiplication facts.
  • For example, once your child has mastered the x2 multiplication facts, you can discuss how 3x6 (3 sixes) can be calculated by doubling 6 (2x6) and adding one more 6.
  • Strategies can be individual: students should be using the strategy that makes the most sense to them.
  • It can also be a great drawing activity where you both have a go at drawing your strategy and then compare.
  • Identifying multiple strategies develops flexible thinking.

2. Help them practise

  • A great game you could play with your children is “multiplication heads up” .
  • Using a deck of cards, your child places a card to their forehead where you can see but they cannot.
  • If it is challenging to organise time to pull out cards, you can make an easier game by simply quizzing your child.

3. Find patterns


Another great activity to do at home is print some multiplication grids and explore patterns with your child.

  • A first start might be to give your child a blank or partially blank multiplication grid which they can practise completing.
  • Then, using coloured pencils, they can colour in patterns they notice.
  • For example, the x6 column is always double the answer in the x3 column.
