9 Times Table

The 9× table has the most beautiful pattern of any table — every answer's digits add up to 9, and the finger trick makes the 9× table almost free.

Tricks for the 9 Times Table

  • Finger trick: hold up 10 fingers, fold down the nth one. Fingers to the left = tens digit; fingers to the right = ones digit. 9 × 4: fold finger 4, you see 3 fingers on the left and 6 on the right → 36.
  • Every answer in the 9× table has digits that add up to 9 (18: 1+8=9, 27: 2+7=9, etc.).
  • 9 × n = (10 × n) − n. So 9 × 7 = 70 − 7 = 63.

How to use the 9 Times Table tool

  1. Start in flashcard mode

    Open the 9× times table tool in flashcard mode. Don't set a timer yet — focus on accuracy.

  2. Say the answer aloud

    Before clicking to reveal, say the answer out loud. This recruits both visual and verbal memory and speeds up recall.

  3. Switch to drill when fluent

    Once your child can answer each card in about 3 seconds, switch to drill mode for a 60-second challenge.

  4. Track their best score

    Retry the drill and aim to beat last session's score. Kids love the progression, and the repetition cements the facts.
