A timed sheet on 0–12

All multiplication facts from 0 × 0 to 12 × 12. Every problem on the sheet is drawn from that set and nothing outside it.

Choose 20, 50 or 100 problems and a limit of 1, 2 or 5 minutes, then print the sheet with its answer key on page two, or start the timer and type into the same grid. The problems are drawn again every time the page loads, so a second sheet is not a copy of the first. How the counts and limits work is on its own page, along with what a timed test does and does not measure.

Thirteen rows, with the answers

What the 0–12 multiplication set contains, one row per fact family.

Where the full multiplication set goes wrong

0 through 12 gives a grid of 13 × 13 = 169 cells, but commutativity means only 91 have to be memorised, and once the 0s, 1s and 10s are handled as rules rather than facts the real remainder is somewhere around fifty. Draw 100 problems onto one sheet and some facts will appear twice or more — that is not a defect, repetition is the point of the format.

Three that come up

How many multiplication facts are in the 0-12 set?
169 cells in the full 13 × 13 grid. Commutativity (3 × 8 and 8 × 3) cuts the number you actually memorize to 91, and the 0s, 1s, and 10s are rules rather than facts.
Should a timed test cover 0-12 all at once?
Mixed 0-12 is the usual end point, not the starting point. Single tables build the recall; the full set checks whether it survives being shuffled.
Why does the same problem appear twice on one sheet?
With 100 problems drawn from roughly 50 distinct facts, repeats are unavoidable. Draw a new sheet if a repeat lands next to its twin.
