Learning the twelve times table is all about multiplying numbers by 12. That's not as easy as it sounds but there is a method which might help you. You need to know your two and ten times tables for this. Let's take 7 x 12 as an example. First multiply 7 x 10. This gives you the answer 70. Next multiply 7 x 2 to get 14. Finally add 70 + 14 and you should get the answer 84. Suddenly, the twelve times table doesn't look so hard after all!

Keep playing this quiz until the answers come to you without having to think. If you can master it then maths will become a whole lot easier.
