12 Times Table
The trick for the 12 times table is ten times the number plus two times the number: 12 × 7 is 70 + 14 = 84, the 10 and 2 times tables added. This page opens the multiplication table with the 12 row lit, writes out 12 × 1 to 12 × 12 = 144 with the working for each fact, and prints as a clean sheet. Choose a larger grid up to 30 to read more products across row 12; the worked list always stops at ×12. Small screens may need sideways scrolling.

Any whole number from 1 to 30 in the size box redraws the grid. The grid scrolls sideways on narrow screens. Print gives the grid and twelve worked 12 times table facts. Copy as text puts the grid on the clipboard with tabs between the cells, so it pastes into a spreadsheet as cells.

Common questions
- What is the trick for the 12 times table?
- To multiply by 12, take ten times the number and add two times the number: 12 × 7 is 70 + 14 = 84. Take 12 × 9: 90 + 18 = 108.
- What is 12 × 7?
- 12 × 7 = 84. Ten sevens are 70, two sevens are 14, and 70 + 14 = 84. Or double 6 × 7 = 42.
- What pattern do the answers in the 12 times table follow?
- Every answer is even and the last digits cycle 2, 4, 6, 8, 0: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, then 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, then 132, 144. Every answer is in the 2, 3, 4 and 6 times tables as well, because 12 is 2 × 6 and 3 × 4, and 12 × 12 = 144 is the last fact on a standard 12 by 12 table.
- Can I print the 12 times table?
- Yes. Press Print, or use your browser's own print command, and only the table prints: the full grid with the 12 row shaded when the selected grid includes it, then the 12 times table written out as 12 facts with the working beside each one. The headings, buttons and this text are left off. Choose PDF as the printer to save it as a file instead.
- How is this page different from the full multiplication table?
- It is the same grid with the 12 row lit from the start, and the 12 times table written out underneath with the trick applied to each fact, so 12 × 1 to 12 × 12 can be read down one column. Move over any other cell and its row and column light up as well, with the fact in the Highlight readout, but the 12 row stays lit and the facts below stay the 12 times table. The full table, with any size from 1 to 30, is on the multiplication table page.
- Can I read the 12 times table through ×20?
- Yes. Choose 20 in the size controls and read across row 12 to column 20: 12 × 20 = 240. The grid can run through ×30, while the separate worked list stays at ×12. If you choose a grid smaller than 12, that row is outside it but the twelve facts still appear below. This is a completed reference chart, with no blank worksheet, flash cards, quiz or song.
- Where can I get a times table quiz or exercise worksheet?
- Use Multiplication Practice for a quiz: set First factor minimum and maximum to 12, Second factor minimum to 1 and maximum to 12, then choose a question count and duration (0 is untimed). Math Worksheet Maker makes exercise sheets: choose Multiplication, First factor 12, Second factor 1 to 12, then save the PDF sheet and answer key. It also accepts selected tables such as 2, 5, 10. Both tools are linked below. They provide original practice rather than an official school assessment.
