Mia counted her blocks 2, 4, 6, 8. Times tables help you remember answers like that without counting each time. For the 2s, 5s, and 10s, you just remember the answer.

Tap to fill the grid, one at a time: 2 rows of 5.

This array has 2 rows of 5. That is 2 × 5 = 10.

Try it together

Sam wants to know 5 × 3. He hops along the 5 times table: 5, 10, 15. Three hops of 5 lands on 15, so 5 × 3 = 15.

The 10 times table counts by 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

Division facts hide inside times tables. If you know 5 × 4 = 20, you also know 20 ÷ 5 = 4 and 20 ÷ 4 = 5.

Know your 2s, 5s, and 10s by heart, and the division facts come for free.
