Multiplication quiz: a five-minute times tables check
A quick times-tables check for the 3 to 12 tables. Each student answers ten questions drawn at random from a pool of twelve, typed rather than picked, with five minutes on the clock — so neighbours do not have the same paper and guessing does not help.
The quiz beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
A random draw from a pool
Each attempt shows ten of the twelve questions, chosen at random, and is marked on exactly the ten it showed.
Typed answers, forgivingly matched
Answers are typed, so there is nothing to guess from. Spaces and punctuation are ignored, so “ 42 ” and “42.” both count.
No card required.

The twelve questions in the pool
6 × 7 = 42 · 8 × 9 = 72 · 12 × 11 = 132 · 7 × 7 = 49 · 9 × 6 = 54 · 4 × 8 = 32
11 × 11 = 121 · 12 × 12 = 144 · 3 × 9 = 27 · 6 × 8 = 48 · 7 × 12 = 84 · 5 × 9 = 45
What goes wrong with this quiz
Specific to this template, not general advice about quizzes.
Retakes after seeing the answers
A practice quiz is meant to be retaken, but if the score counts, turn on “One attempt per person” so the first attempt is the one that stands.
Too small a pool
With twelve questions and a draw of ten, papers overlap a lot. For real variety, write twenty or thirty facts and keep the draw at ten.
Questions about this quiz
Can I give it to my class through Google Classroom?
Use the Share menu to post the link to Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, or send it by email. Students open it in any browser without an account. Grades are not synced back automatically — export the gradebook CSV.
Which times tables does it cover?
Facts from the 3 to 12 times tables, including 11 × 11 and 12 × 12. Edit the pool to focus on one table at a time.
Why five minutes for ten questions?
Thirty seconds a fact is generous for recall but too short to work each one out from scratch. Shorten it for fluency practice; the clock is checked on our server, so it cannot be fiddled.
