Printable 9 Times Table Chart
The 9 times table — the most pattern-rich table of all — from 9 × 1 to 9 × 12 in large print, plus a blank fill-in chart. Look down the filled chart and the patterns jump out: the digits of every answer add up to 9, and the tens digit is always one less than the number being multiplied.
How to Use the 9 Times Table Chart
Let students discover the patterns before you name them: ask what they notice about 9, 18, 27, 36 running down the page. The digit-sum check (9 × 7 = 63, and 6 + 3 = 9) turns the chart into a self-correcting tool, and the 10s route seals it: 9 × 8 is 80 minus 8, or 72.
Then teach the famous finger trick — fold down the finger you are multiplying by and read tens and ones on either side of it — and verify a few facts against the chart. Fill in the blank version from memory, then graduate to the timed 9 times table game.
Frequently Asked Questions
What patterns are hidden in the 9 times table?
At least three: the digits of every answer add up to 9 (63 → 6 + 3 = 9), the tens digit is one less than the number being multiplied (9 × 7 starts with 6), and as the ones digits count down 9, 8, 7… the tens count up. Together they make the 9s one of the easiest "hard" tables.
Does the 9 times table finger trick work for every fact?
It covers 9 × 1 through 9 × 10 — fold down one of your ten fingers and read tens and ones on either side. For 9 × 11 and 9 × 12, use the 10s route instead: 9 × 12 is 120 minus 12, which is 108.
