The 1 times table is the gentlest start: every answer is the number you began with. Children who see why it works can explain the rule in their own words.
Skip counting by 1s
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
- 11
- 12
Each answer climbs by exactly one: 1, 2, 3, 4. The skip-counting row is the same as plain counting.
Tip for the 1 times table
Multiplying by 1 means you have one group, so the number does not change. Say it as a story: one bag with 9 apples is still 9 apples.
The 3 hardest facts
- 1 × 12 = 12
- 1 × 11 = 11
- 1 × 10 = 10
Most mistakes here come from mixing up 1 x 12 with 1 + 12. Ask your child to read the sign out loud before answering.
Turnaround facts
Swapping the numbers gives the same answer, so each fact below is learned once and used twice.

Questions parents ask
Why learn the 1 times table at all?
It teaches the identity rule that every later table relies on. Once a child trusts it, half of the chart for other tables feels easier.
Is 1 x 0 part of this table?
This page covers 1 x 1 through 1 x 12. Zero facts follow their own rule: anything times zero is zero.
