Times Table Practice (9s, 11s, 12s)
40 multiplication facts on three pages from the 9s, 11s, and 12s, written like 7 × 12 = ___ with the first number from 1 to 12. The 11s and 12s are usually the last tables students learn, so it's a sheet for 3rd and 4th graders who already know their facts up to 10.

A different trick for each table
The 9s are one group less than the 10s: 7 × 9 is 70 − 7 = 63. The digits of a 9s answer add up to 9, like 6 + 3 for 63, which makes a quick check. 11 × 9 = 99 looks like an exception, but keep adding: 9 + 9 = 18, and 1 + 8 = 9.
The 11s up to 9 × 11 just repeat the digit, so 4 × 11 = 44. Past that, split the 11 into 10 and 1: 12 × 11 is 120 + 12, or 132.
The 12s are the 10s plus the 2s: 7 × 12 is 70 + 14 = 84. When you check the sheet, sort the misses by table, since each one has its own trick. For one table at a time, use the 9, 11, and 12 times table worksheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the finger trick for the 9s?
Hold up ten fingers and fold down the one for the number you're multiplying by 9. For 4 × 9, fold down the fourth finger from the left. The 3 fingers to its left are the tens and the 6 to its right are the ones, so 36. It works up to 10 × 9.
Is 9 × 11 the same as 11 × 9?
Yes. Both are 99, and both are on this sheet. Order doesn't change a product, so a student who knows the 11s already knows that 9s fact.
What grade learns the 9s, 11s, and 12s?
The 9s up to 9 × 9 are part of the facts 3rd graders are expected to know from memory. The 11s and 12s go past what the standards require, so schools add them in 3rd or 4th grade, or skip them.
