Mystery multiplication tables

Multiplication tables with the headers hidden. Work out the headers, then fill the table.

About this worksheet

The column for your chosen times table is given. Students divide to find the row headers, use the first row to find the other column headers, and then complete every product.

It turns a routine multiplication table into a small deduction puzzle, and the structure of the table (rows, columns, factors) becomes visible.
