Multiplication tables can provide a convenient bridge from skip counting (or incremental addition) to mastery of the full set of multiplication facts. The printable multiplication tables you will find here provide the most basic overview of sets of multiplication facts, either as individual multiplication fact tables or as a simple multiplication table worksheet for building early familiarity with a family of multiplication facts. Numbers are abstract and learning that 6x7 is 42 might as well seem like random gibberish to a student. This process is different from memorizing spelling words where there are often phonetic hints or other clues that at least get you started. It's one of the first activities that requires memorizing a large number of facts. Learn the multiplication table is one of the milestone skills in primary grade mathematics.
