The table that keeps numbers the same

The 1 times table

One group of anything is just that thing. The 1s are the first table where multiplying means groups, so they are worth saying out loud even though the answers look easy.

Practice the 1s

The 1 times table

  1. 1 × 11
  2. 1 × 22
  3. 1 × 33
  4. 1 × 44
  5. 1 × 55
  6. 1 × 66
  7. 1 × 77
  8. 1 × 88
  9. 1 × 99
  10. 1 × 1010
  11. 1 × 1111
  12. 1 × 1212

Learning the 1s

The tricky ones

Children mix up 1 × 8 with 1 + 8 and answer 9. Saying "one group of eight" instead of "one times eight" fixes it fast.

Use what you know

There is nothing to memorize: the answer is the other number. Use the 1s to practice the words "groups of" before the harder tables.

Where you meet the 1s

  • One box with 6 eggs holds 6 eggs.
  • One week has 7 days, so 1 × 7 = 7.
  • One spider has 8 legs.

3 × 1 = 3

Patterns and tricks

  • Any number times 1 stays the same: 1 × 8 = 8.
  • One group of 7 is just 7.

Divide by 1

Every multiplication fact has a division fact in its family: if 1 × 4 = 4, then 4 ÷ 1 = 4.

  1. 1 ÷ 11
  2. 2 ÷ 12
  3. 3 ÷ 13
  4. 4 ÷ 14
  5. 5 ÷ 15
  6. 6 ÷ 16
  7. 7 ÷ 17
  8. 8 ÷ 18
  9. 9 ÷ 19
  10. 10 ÷ 110
  11. 11 ÷ 111
  12. 12 ÷ 112
