How to learn the 1 times table
💡 Nothing changes
One group of 7 is just 7. Whatever number you multiply by 1, the answer is that number.
💡 It works both ways
1 × 9 and 9 × 1 are both 9. Once a child knows this, they already know one fact in every other table.
The tricky one: 1 × 0 = 0
One group of nothing is still nothing.
The 1 times table is learned alongside the 2s, 5s and 10s, usually around age 6–7.
