The 13 times table

The 13 times table is 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, 130, 143, 156, 169, 182, 195. It may also be called the thirteen times table or 13x table. This is optional extension practice: England’s Year 4 recall target and the Multiplication Tables Check stop at 12 × 12.

Learn it once the tables to 12 are secure. Build each fact from tables you already know, then practise in a mixed order until the answers come quickly.

A useful method for the 13 times table

Split 13 into 10 and 3. Multiply by 10, multiply by 3, then add: 13 × 7 = 10 × 7 + 3 × 7 = 70 + 21 = 91.

Use the method as a safety net while recall develops. Once a fact is understood, return to it later in a different order so it is remembered on its own.

Facts to focus on

13 × 7 = 91, 13 × 8 = 104 and 13 × 13 = 169 are the facts worth rehearsing. 169 is a square number, which gives it an extra memory hook.

Pattern to notice

The ones digits run 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and then repeat, because adding 13 adds 3 to the ones digit each time.

A worked example

13 × 8 = 10 × 8 + 3 × 8 = 80 + 24 = 104.

Common questions

Do children need to learn the 13 times table?

No. In England the Year 4 target, and the Multiplication Tables Check, cover tables up to 12 × 12. The 13 times table is optional extension practice that strengthens mental methods and helps later with KS3 work.
