When are the nine times multiplication tables taught to students?
Multiplication tables are taught to learners aged 6 to 8 years old or 2nd or 3rd grades (USA).
Children will start learning the 9 times table in year 3 after learning the 2-, 5-, and 10-times tables in year 2. By Year 4, they should be able to recall all the times tables up to 12. Then, children will learn to write and calculate multiplication and division statements using the tables they already know.
The 9 times table displays all of the outcomes of repeatedly adding 9. The table of nine must be kept to memory since the next mathematical steps would be considerably more challenging to comprehend and process without these fundamental skills.
Nine is a perfect square number and the greatest single-digit composite number. For quick computations, learners must master the nine times multiplication table.

Tips to Master 9 Times Multiplication Table
Because nine is such a big number, some children might be hesitant to learn the multiplication table for it. However, understanding the multiplication table for 9 is made simple by a few simple tricks, patterns, and concepts.
( a ) The units count down from 9 to 0, while the tens count up from 1 to 9.
A simple pattern can help you learn the 9 times table up to 9 10. The digits at one’s place decrease by 1 from top to bottom, as shown in the illustration below. The tens place digits are also just ascending by 1 from top to bottom.
| 9 Times Multiplication Table | |
| 9 × 1 = | 09 |
| 9 × 2 = | 18 |
| 9 × 3 = | 27 |
| 9 × 4 = | 36 |
| 9 × 5 = | 45 |
| 9 × 6 = | 54 |
| 9 × 7 = | 63 |
| 9 × 8 = | 72 |
| 9 × 9 = | 81 |
| 9 × 10 = | 90 |
( b ) When multiplying by 9, the number 9 is continuously added.
Let us say, for example, that the number 9 is added four times when we say 9 times 4 (9 × 4).
Therefore, for additional examples using the nine times table,
9 × 2 = 9 + 9 = 18
9 × 4 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36
9 × 6 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 54
9 × 8 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 +9 + 9 = 72
9 × 9 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 +9 + 9 + 9 = 81
9 × 10 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 +9 + 9 + 9 + 9= 90
9 × 11 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 +9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 99
9 × 12 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 +9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 108
( c ) The products in the 9 times table have digits that add up to nine.
From the table below, the sum of the digits in the products of the nines table equals nine.
| 9 Times Multiplication Table | Sum of the digits in the product |
| 9 × 1 = 9 | 0 + 9 = 9 |
| 9 × 2 = 18 | 1 + 8 = 9 |
| 9 × 3 = 27 | 2 + 7 = 9 |
| 9 × 4 = 36 | 3 + 6 = 9 |
| 9 × 5 = 45 | 4 + 5 = 9 |
| 9 × 6 = 54 | 5 + 4 = 9 |
| 9 × 7 = 63 | 6 + 3 = 9 |
| 9 × 8 = 72 | 7 + 2 = 9 |
| 9 × 9 = 81 | 8 + 1 = 9 |
| 9 × 10 = 90 | 9 + 0 = 9 |
This method can also check if a large number is a multiple of 9. Let us say, for example, the number 888885.
8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 5 = 45
Continue adding the digits of the sum, 45.
4 + 5 = 9.
Therefore, 888885 is a multiple of 9.
( d ) Do the subtracting from 10 tricks.
Subtract the number from 10 times the number to see what the number is when multiplied by 9. Here are some examples:
9 × 6 = ( 10 × 6 ) – 6 = 60 – 6 = 54
9 × 8 = ( 10 × 8 ) – 8 = 80 – 8 = 72 9 × 9 = ( 10 × 9 ) – 9 = 90 – 9 = 81
