Multiplication Table

Print a times table.

Multiplication Table is a free Coding for Kids lesson on CoddyKit — lesson 4 of 4. You can read the complete lesson below for free — then practise it hands-on in the browser with a built-in code editor and a 24/7 AI tutor. It is part of the Coding for Kids learning path, one of 4 lessons in the course, and your progress syncs across the web and the CoddyKit app.

The Times Table! ✖️

Hey math wizard! 🧙 A multiplication table shows answers to times problems, like 2 × 3 = 6. ✖️

Today we make the computer print a whole table for us. No more memorizing! 🎉

print('2 times 3 is', 2 * 3)

The Star Means Times ⭐

In Python, the * symbol means multiply! So 4 * 5 means 4 times 5. ⭐

Let's try a few!

print(2 * 4)
print(3 * 3)
print(5 * 6)

One Number's Table 1️⃣

Let's print the whole table for the number 2! We use a loop to count 1 to 5 and multiply each by 2. 1️⃣

for n in range(1, 6):
    print('2 x', n, '=', 2 * n)

range Can Start Anywhere 🏁

Did you spot range(1, 6)? It starts at 1 and stops BEFORE 6, so we get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! 🏁

This is perfect for times tables that start at 1.

for n in range(1, 6):
    print('Counting:', n)

The 5 Times Table 🖐️

Let's do the 5 times table! Each answer jumps up by 5. 🖐️ 5, 10, 15, 20, 25!

for n in range(1, 6):
    print('5 x', n, '=', 5 * n)

Pick Your Number 🎯

We can store the table number in a variable! Then change just ONE spot to make any table. 🎯

table = 7
for n in range(1, 6):
    print(table, 'x', n, '=', table * n)

Now With Two Loops! 🔁

Here's where nested loops shine! The outer loop picks the table number, the inner loop counts 1 to 5. We get MANY tables at once! 🔁

for table in range(1, 4):
    for n in range(1, 6):
        print(table, 'x', n, '=', table * n)
    print('---')

A Neat Grid of Answers 🟦

We can show just the answers in a grid! Each row is one table, each column multiplies by the next number. 🟦

for table in range(1, 4):
    for n in range(1, 6):
        print(table * n, end=' ')
    print()

Bigger Tables 🔢

Want the table to go up to 10? Just change the inner range to range(1, 11)! 🔢

table = 3
for n in range(1, 11):
    print(table, 'x', n, '=', table * n)

The Full Times Table 📋

Let's print a full grid from 1 to 4! Each line is a different table. Look how the numbers grow! 📋

for table in range(1, 5):
    for n in range(1, 5):
        print(table * n, end='\t')
    print()

You're a Math Machine! 🤖

Change the table number below and run it! Try 6, then 9, then 12. You just built a homework helper! 🤖✨

table = 6
for n in range(1, 11):
    print(table, 'x', n, '=', table * n)

Quick Check! 🧠

Let's test your multiplication magic! ✖️

Times Table Champion! 🎉

Fantastic work! 🎉 You can print times tables!

* means multiply ✖️
range(1, 6) counts 1 to 5 🏁
A variable lets you pick any table 🎯
Nested loops make MANY tables at once 🔁

You finished Patterns with Nested Loops! Super job! 🏆

for table in range(1, 4):
    for n in range(1, 6):
        print(table * n, end=' ')
    print()
