Times Table Question Generator

What this generator does

Produces a multiplication question with its answer, for times-table practice. The question and answer are generated together from the numbers drawn, so the answer is always correct for the question shown.

How to use this tool

1. Set the highest times table to practise.
2. Press new question for a random multiplication question.
3. Reveal the answer when ready.

Understanding the controls

Times tables up to

The highest number either factor can be, from 2 to 20 (12 to start). Both numbers are drawn from 1 up to it; there is no setting that drills one table on its own.

Common use cases

• Times table practice at home or school
• Quick maths warm-ups
• Self-testing before a maths quiz

How this generator works

Both numbers in the question are drawn independently between 1 and the limit you set, not one fixed number against a varying second factor — so setting the limit to 12 practises the full 1 to 12 grid rather than only the 12-times table on its own. The answer shown is the multiplication of the two numbers actually drawn, worked out at the moment the question appears.

Limitations and good to know

• Setting the limit to 12 mixes all tables from 1 to 12 rather than drilling the 12-times table specifically — to focus on one table alone, ignore any question that doesn't include it and press new question again.
• There is no seed and no record of past questions, so the same pair of numbers can come up twice in a row.
