12 Times Table Color by Number Worksheet

Every region on this picture carries one 12 times table fact. Every answer is a 10s fact plus a 2s fact. 12 × 7 is 70 plus 14, which is 84. A child has to recall the answer before they know which crayon a region takes, so the coloring rewards the retrieval instead of replacing it. 12 × 7 = 84 and 12 × 8 = 96. Both need a two-digit addition after the split, which is a step the other tables do not ask for.

Teaching notes for 12 times table

Split into 10 and 2 every time. Children who know this split can rebuild any 12s fact in about two seconds, even before it is automatic. Watch which regions your child leaves until last: they are almost always the facts that still need counting. The 10s and the 2s, and adding two-digit numbers in your head.

How to use this sheet

  • 1. Solve the problem printed inside each region of the picture.
  • 2. Find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet.
  • 3. Color the region with the crayon next to it. Each swatch also carries a letter code, so the sheet still works printed in black and white.

The picture only comes out right if the facts were answered right, which is the point: a guessed answer shows up as a wrong color instead of disappearing into a page of ticks.

After the 12 times table sheet

A coloring sheet is deliberate, slow practice — good for a first pass and for the facts that are still shaky. Recall speed comes from short repeated retrieval, so pair it with a few minutes of online practice rather than another sheet.
