Times tables, practised calmly
The 1 times table
Ten questions, no clock. A wrong answer shows the spots.
The practice needs JavaScript. The whole table and its trick are below.
The whole 1 times table
- 1 × 1 = 1
- 2 × 1 = 2
- 3 × 1 = 3
- 4 × 1 = 4
- 5 × 1 = 5
- 6 × 1 = 6
- 7 × 1 = 7
- 8 × 1 = 8
- 9 × 1 = 9
- 10 × 1 = 10
The trick: it stays the same
The easiest table: any number times 1 stays the same. It is still worth a few minutes, because it is where children first see that 4 × 1 means four groups of one.
- 7 × 1 is 7 ones.
- 7 × 1 = 7. It stays the same!
- Even 100 × 1 = 100!

Questions parents ask
What is the trick for the 1 times table?
It stays the same. For example: 7 × 1 is 7 ones. 7 × 1 = 7. It stays the same! Even 100 × 1 = 100!
When do children learn the 1 times table?
Usually alongside the twos. In Australia that is Year 2, and the rest of the early tables follow in Year 3.
Why practise the 1 times table at all?
Because it shows what “times” means: 6 × 1 is six groups with one in each. Children who see that find the bigger tables easier to picture.
