About these printable charts

Reference charts are for the facts a child should eventually know by heart but does not yet. Leaving a multiplication chart on the desk while they work on a problem type is not cheating, it is removing one load so they can concentrate on the one you are actually teaching.

The usual pattern is a full chart first, then a partially blank one, then none. Each chart here notes what it covers so you can see which stage it belongs to and take the scaffold away deliberately rather than all at once.

Frequently asked questions

Is it bad to let a child use a multiplication chart?

Not while they are learning a new skill that happens to involve multiplication, such as long division or area. The chart removes an unrelated load. Fade it out when the goal shifts to fact fluency itself.

What is the difference between a chart and a math tool?

A chart is a reference to read, such as a completed times table. A math tool is something a child works on, such as a number line they mark or fraction strips they shade. Both sections are available here.

What size do these charts print at?

Standard 8.5 x 11 inch, which suits a desk or a small display. For a wall-sized version, use your printer's poster scaling option to tile one chart across several sheets.
