{FREE} Multiplication Facts Worksheets for Kids

One of the biggest concerns I hear from parents and teachers alike is, “My kids just don’t know their multiplication facts.” I get it! Learning all the multiplication facts from 1-12 is no small task and if you’re trying to help your child or students learn them, it can feel like banging your head on a brick wall at times. If that’s you, I’d encourage you to begin by building a solid understanding of what multiplication is and what it represents. Then work through the facts in a logical order (not in sequential order). Learn more about how to teach multiplication facts here. Then, once kids have a solid understanding, you can provide additional practice in fun, non-threatening ways like the multiplication facts worksheets and games you’ll find below.
