Instead of learning multiplication only through repeated written calculations, Chinese students traditionally build fluency by memorizing multiplication facts from 1\u00d71 through 9\u00d79 and then applying these facts to mental math and multi-digit multiplication. This approach gives students a compact set of basic facts that can be recalled quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, you will learn how the Chinese multiplication method works, what the Chinese multiplication table looks like, how Chinese students use multiplication facts, and why the 9\u00d79 system is important in elementary mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-11.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-11.webp 739w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-11-300x193.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-chinese-multiplication-method\"><\/span>What Is the Chinese Multiplication Method?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese multiplication method generally refers to the way multiplication facts and calculation strategies are taught in Chinese mathematics education. One of its most recognizable features is the <strong>9\u00d79 multiplication table<\/strong>, or <strong>\u4e5d\u4e5d\u4e58\u6cd5\u8868<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic idea is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Memorize the multiplication facts from 1\u00d71 to 9\u00d79, then use those facts as building blocks for more complex calculations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3 \u00d7 4 = 12<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 \u00d7 7 = 42<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 \u00d7 9 = 72<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these facts become automatic, students can use them when multiplying larger numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>24 \u00d7 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>can be separated into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20 \u00d7 7 + 4 \u00d7 7 = 140 + 28 = 168<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The multiplication table provides the basic fact <strong>4 \u00d7 7 = 28<\/strong>, while place-value reasoning handles the larger number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wukong-9x9-table\" class=\"wm9-wrap\">\n  <style>\n

The multiplication table becomes a <strong>foundation for mental calculation, written multiplication, division, fractions, and later algebra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Learn Basic Multiplication Facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students first become familiar with multiplication facts within 9\u00d79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6 \u00d7 8 = 48<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is eventually to recall the answer without having to count groups of objects every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Patterns to Reduce Memorization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplication contains many patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, multiplying by 5 produces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplying by 9 produces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can use these patterns as memory cues instead of treating every fact as unrelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use Place Value for Larger Numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After basic multiplication facts become familiar, students combine them with place-value strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>23 \u00d7 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>can be calculated as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20 \u00d7 4 + 3 \u00d7 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>= 80 + 12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>= 92<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic fact <strong>3 \u00d7 4 = 12<\/strong> is part of the calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Apply Multiplication to Real Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplication is then used in word problems and more advanced mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>A box contains 8 rows of pencils with 6 pencils in each row.

<strong>48 pencils<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"455\"

id=\"how-to-memorize-the-chinese-multiplication-table\"><\/span>How to Memorize the Chinese Multiplication Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children can use several strategies to learn the 9\u00d79 multiplication table more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start With Easy Facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin with multiplication facts involving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00d71<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00d72<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00d75<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00d710<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then move toward less familiar facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Commutative Pairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students only need to learn one relationship for each reversed pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 \u00d7 8 = 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8 \u00d7 3 = 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two calculations have the same product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Difficult Facts Separately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some facts may require more repetition, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6

the Chinese Multiplication Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. What is the Chinese multiplication method?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese multiplication method commonly refers to learning multiplication through the <strong>9\u00d79 multiplication table (\u4e5d\u4e5d\u4e58\u6cd5\u8868)<\/strong> and related calculation strategies. Students memorize basic multiplication facts and use them as foundations for mental math and more complex calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What is the Chinese 9\u00d79 multiplication table?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese 9\u00d79 multiplication table contains multiplication facts from 1\u00d71 through 9\u00d79, with 9\u00d79=81 as the largest basic fact. It is traditionally associated with the Chinese multiplication rhymes called \u4e58\u6cd5\u53e3\u8bc0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Is memorizing multiplication tables enough to learn multiplication?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Multiplication fluency is useful, but students also need to understand multiplication as equal groups, repeated addition, arrays, scaling, and other mathematical relationships. Fact recall works best as a foundation for conceptual understanding and problem solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese multiplication method is best understood as a combination of multiplication fact fluency, rhythmic memorization, number patterns, and practical calculation. At its center is the Chinese 9\u00d79 multiplication table, or \u4e5d\u4e5d\u4e58\u6cd5\u8868, which gives students a compact foundation of facts from 1\u00d71 to 9\u00d79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning the multiplication table can make mental math, division, multi-digit multiplication, fractions, and later mathematics more efficient. However, memorization works best when it is connected to mathematical meaning. Children should understand why multiplication works as well as recall what 7\u00d78 equals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For families looking to strengthen multiplication fluency and broader mathematical thinking, WuKong Math combines structured instruction, teacher guidance, and problem-solving practice.

Instead of learning multiplication only through repeated written calculations, Chinese students traditionally build fluency by memorizing multiplication facts from 1\u00d71 through 9\u00d79 and then applying these facts to mental math and multi-digit multiplication. This approach gives students a compact set of basic facts that can be recalled quickly. In this guide, you will learn how the Chinese multiplication method works, what the Chinese multiplication table looks like, how Chinese students use multiplication facts, and why the 9\u00d79 system is important in elementary mathematics.
