8 Times Table Worksheets

This page makes free printable 8 times table worksheets on demand: press the button and you get a new sheet of 20 problems with a matching answer key, ready for US Letter or A4 paper. A typical problem from the sheet in front of you is 8 × 10, which works out to 80; another is 8 × 11, giving 88.

📄 8 TIMES TABLE WORKSHEET — A NEW SHEET EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BUTTON
🎲 New set of problems

‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.

The skill behind these problems

Facts are best learned one table at a time and then mixed. A table practised in isolation feels mastered long before it is; the mixing is what makes it stick.

Once a table is fluent forwards, the missing-number version turns it into division practice without the child noticing they have changed topic.

A times table sheet has one job: to turn calculation into recall. When a child meets 8 × 10 they should produce 80 in under three seconds without computing anything, and this page measures exactly that.

The two hardest facts in any table sit in the middle, and children who chant from the start have to run the whole chain to reach something like 8 × 11. Random order is what breaks that dependency.

Teachers usually place 8 times table worksheets alongside the multiplication fact fluency expectations for grade 3, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.

What the problems look like

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (the 8 times table, ×1 to ×12).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
18 × 10 =80Watch for: losing the commutative pair
28 × 11 =88Check: fading in the second half of the sheet
38 × 1 =8Look at: skipping the ones and tens facts
48 × 12 =96Ask about: chanting up to the answer
58 × 9 =72Watch for: confusing neighbouring facts
68 × 6 =48Check: guessing the square

One problem worked through

Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 8 × 10. Work 8 × 10 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 80 on the key before moving on.

Work 8 × 12 out loud as a demonstration. It gives 96. Children who hear 8 × 12 reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.

Three things that go wrong here

Using this sheet as a daily drill

  1. Stop the session at the time limit even if the sheet is unfinished, and note where the child got to. A half sheet done well is better data than a whole sheet rushed.
  2. Use a pencil, not a pen. Children working on the 8 times table rethink far more often when erasing is allowed, and you get to see exactly where the rethinking happened on an item like 8 × 1.
  3. Re-print the same skill rather than the same sheet. Because the numbers change, a child who memorised that 8 × 10 gives 80 still has to actually calculate tomorrow.
  4. Read the first two problems out loud together before starting the clock. It costs fifteen seconds and removes most of the 'I did not understand the question' errors.
  5. Write the finish time and the score at the top of every sheet. Two weeks of those two numbers tells you more about progress on the 8 times table than any single test result.

The answer key

The key prints on its own page by default. Uncheck the answer-key box before printing if you would rather keep it back and mark the sheet yourself.

Because the numbers are random, there is no shared answer list to look up: the key printed behind your sheet is the only one that fits it, and it shows 80 for 8 × 10.

Printing on US Letter or A4

For a class set, print one sheet, press the new-worksheet button and print again. Each child gets different numbers on the same skill, so nobody can copy the answer to 8 × 10 from a neighbour.

The sheet is laid out to fit one page on both US Letter and A4. Leave the browser scaling at 100% and turn headers and footers off, and the 20 problems land inside the margins on either paper size.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know it is really learned?
Random order, out of context, under three seconds per fact, on two different days. Anything less is recognition rather than recall.
Will these print correctly on A4?
Yes. These 8 times table worksheets fit both A4 and US Letter without clipping, as long as print scaling is left at 100% and browser headers and footers are switched off.
Do I need an account to print these worksheets?
No. There is no sign-up, no email and no download step — the 8 times table worksheets are built in your browser and go straight to your printer or to a PDF file.
In what order should the tables be learned?
The usual order is 2, 5 and 10 first, then 3, 4 and 6, then 8, then 7, 9, 11 and 12. Each new table then contains only a handful of genuinely unknown facts.

Keep the finished 8 times table worksheets in date order — the drop in time across ten sheets is the clearest progress report you will get.
