9 times table practice

Twelve questions spanning the entire 9 times table, 1 × 9 through 12 × 9, with a 60-second target.

Up to 9 × 10, the digits of every answer add to 9: 9 × 7 = 63, and 6 + 3 = 9. There is also a subtraction route — 9 × 7 is 70 minus 7 — and the well-known finger method works precisely because of that same relationship to the 10s. These patterns carry a child while recall is still forming.

12 questions with a 60-second target — there's no cut-off, so take the time you need. Type the answer and hit Enter. Your time appears once every question is answered.

Parent questions

How does the finger trick for the 9s work?: Hold up ten fingers and fold down the one matching the multiplier. For 9 × 4, fold the fourth finger: three fingers stand to its left and six to its right, giving 36.
Why do the digits always add to 9?: Because each 9s fact is the matching 10s fact minus the multiplier. Taking 7 from 70 moves 7 out of the tens and into the units, so the two digits still total 9.
Which year covers the 9 times table?: Year 4 in England, as part of securing every table to 12 × 12 before the Multiplication Tables Check in June of that year.
