How to use the multiplication worksheet generator
- Pick a preset for your grade, or choose your own settings.
- For times tables, tick the tables you want. Tick a single number, such as 7, for a one-table worksheet. Every fact appears before any repeats.
- For multi-digit multiplication, choose the size of the top number and the multiplier. With a 2-digit multiplier, the sheet leaves room for partial products.
- Click Print / Save as PDF. The answer key prints on its own page and shows the partial products for longer problems.
- Need another copy? Click New Worksheet for fresh problems with the same settings.
Which settings to use for each grade
| Grade | Suggested settings | What students practise |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 2 | Times tables 2, 5 and 10, horizontal | Skip counting and equal groups |
| Grade 3 | Times tables 0–10, then 1–12; 2-digit × 1-digit without regrouping | Fact fluency and early multi-digit work |
| Grade 4 | 2-, 3- and 4-digit × 1-digit, mixed regrouping | The standard algorithm with carrying |
| Grade 5 and up | 2-digit × 2-digit, then 3-digit × 2-digit | Long multiplication with partial products |

Find a row number and a column number; the square where they meet is their product. The shaded squares down the diagonal are the square numbers.

Tips for learning the times tables
- Start with 2s, 5s and 10s. They follow skip-counting patterns students already know.
- Use facts students know to build new ones. The 4s are double the 2s, and the 8s are double the 4s. The 9s are the 10s minus one group: 9 × 6 is 60 − 6.
- Turn facts around. 3 × 8 and 8 × 3 have the same answer, so every new table is shorter than it looks.
- Practise a little every day. A short daily sheet of 20 facts builds fluency faster than one long session a week.
- Leave the hardest for last. Facts like 6 × 7, 7 × 8 and 8 × 12 take the most practice. Make a worksheet with only those tables ticked.
How long multiplication works
To multiply 47 × 23, first multiply 47 by the 3 in the ones place to get 141. Next multiply 47 by the 2 tens, which is 20, to get 940. Add the two partial products: 141 + 940 = 1,081. The answer key shows both partial products, so students can see exactly which step went wrong.
Frequently asked questions
Is the multiplication worksheet generator free?
Yes. You can create, print and save as many multiplication worksheets as you like, including answer keys, without an account.
Can I make a worksheet for just one times table?
Yes. Choose Times tables, then tick only the table you want, for example 7. Every problem will use that table, and all facts appear before any repeat.
In what order should children learn the times tables?
A common order is 2s, 5s and 10s first, then 3s and 4s, then 6s, 9s and 11s, and finally 7s, 8s and 12s. Each new table can build on facts students already know.
Does the answer key show the working for 2-digit multiplication?
Yes. For problems with a 2-digit or 3-digit multiplier, the answer key shows each partial product as well as the final answer, so students can check each step.
Can I get the exact same worksheet again later?
Yes. Every worksheet has a code, and the page link updates to include it. Bookmark or share the link and it will rebuild the identical worksheet and answer key.
How do I save the worksheet as a PDF?
Click Print / Save as PDF, then choose Save as PDF as the destination in the print window. The worksheet is sized for letter paper.
