Two kinds of practice live here. Table facts mixes up questions from the tables you choose, for example only 6 to 9, so the child cannot answer by chanting in order. The other types give long multiplication to be worked in columns.
The "Tables from" and "Tables up to" boxes matter only for table facts. A good path is tables 2, 5 and 10 first, then 3 and 4, then 6 to 9, and later 11 to 20 if the school asks for them.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Mixed facts show which tables are really known. If 7 times 8 keeps going wrong, make a sheet of only tables 7 and 8.
- For 2 digits by 2 digits, remind the child to put a zero in the ones place before multiplying by the tens digit.
- Let the child estimate first: 48 times 6 should be a little less than 300. An answer of 2,888 then looks wrong at once.

Common questions
Up to which table should a child know?
Schools differ. Tables up to 10 are needed for all later arithmetic. Many Indian schools also ask for tables up to 20. Follow your school, and make sure 2 to 10 are quick and sure first.
