The 1 times table is the easiest table to learn! It introduces the 'Identity Property' of multiplication, meaning any number multiplied by 1 stays exactly the same.
Because multiplying by 1 means you have exactly 'one group' of that number, the answer is always the original number. For example, 1 × 7 = 7.
Teacher Tip
Many students find the 1 times table very easy. Multiplying by 1 always gives the same number. There is nothing to memorise.
Parent Tip
