TWOS×2 · The 2s — doubles, all the way through 2×12. Every kid's first multiplication win.1:38
THREES×3 · Counting by threes — the rhythm that makes 3×7 = 21 stop being a guessing game.1:27
FOURS×4 · The 4s — twice the 2s, half the 8s. Locks in once kids hear the doubling pattern.1:25FIVES×5 · The 5s — the easiest set, and the one most often skipped. Don't skip it.1:50
SIXES×6 · The 6s — where the times table starts feeling like work. The hook makes them stick.1:59SEVENS×7 · The 7s — the hardest table for most kids. This song is the unlock.1:40EIGHTS×8 · The 8s — double the 4s if you forget. The chorus carries the rest.2:00
NINES×9 · The 9s — there is a finger trick, and there is this song. Use both.1:41
TENS×10 · The 10s — the freebie. Use it as a confidence reset between harder tables.1:39
ELEVENS×11 · The 11s — the pattern is hiding in plain sight. Listen for it.2:02TWELVES×12 · The 12s — the final boss. Once these are memorized, the times table is done.1:52Math Foundations · 2 songs

Why music makes times tables stick
Multiplication facts are the kind of thing kids either know cold — or they don’t.
And when they don’t, every other math topic for the next decade gets harder. Long division, fractions, algebra, fraction-of-a-fraction word problems — all of it leans on the times table being automatic. Drill and flashcards work, but they are slow and they are joyless.
Music is the shortcut. It does three things at once that no flashcard pile can match.
Melody as memory glue
When numbers are tied to a hook, the brain encodes both together. The melody becomes the key that unlocks 7×8 = 56 on demand — even years later, in the middle of an algebra test.
Built-in repetition
A chorus repeats without anyone trying. Three plays of the SEVENS in the car means your kid has heard 7×7 = 49 nine to twelve times — that is spaced repetition, accidentally.
Retrieval through tune
Pause mid-song and the next number jumps out. Melody is one of the strongest retrieval cues human memory has — stronger than meaning, stronger than drill.
That is the whole premise of this page.
Pick the table your kid is working on this week. Drop the song into the school-run rotation. The memorization happens on its own.
How to use these songs at home or in the classroom
- One table a week, not five. Familiarity beats coverage. Stay on the FOURS until everyone in the car can rap the chorus from a cold start. Then move on.
- Anchor it to the school run. Same song, same drive, every day. The repetition does the work — you do not have to.
- Encourage rapping along, not just listening. Kids retain numbers they have produced themselves much better than numbers they have only heard.
- Print a times-table grid. Tape it on the fridge. The song carries the facts; the printed grid lets kids check themselves.
- Quiz at the end of the week, not the start. Quizzing too early turns the song into homework. Let it absorb. By Friday they will have it.
- Use SEVENS first if your kid struggles. The 7s are the hardest table for almost every kid. Learning them early breaks the worst block in elementary math.
A closer look at the trickiest tables
- The SEVENS are the hardest. No friendly pattern, no finger trick, no doubling shortcut. The hook in this song is doing the heavy lifting — three full plays and 7×8 = 56 starts to feel automatic.
- The NINES have a pattern hiding in them. The digits of every product add up to 9 (9×4 = 36, 3+6 = 9). The song points at it without spelling it out — let your kid notice it.
- The EIGHTS are double the FOURS. If a kid blanks on 8×7, ask them 4×7 — then double it. The song builds that habit in.
- The TWELVES are the finish line. Once these are locked, the times table is done. Most public-school curricula stop at 10s; we go to 12s because long division and fractions are easier when 11s and 12s are automatic.
Questions from parents and teachers.
Frequently asked questions
Honest answers about how these songs work, what ages they fit, and how to use them at home or in the classroom.
What grade level are these multiplication songs for?
The times-table songs are written for grades 2–4, when kids are first memorizing multiplication facts. The fractions and PEMDAS songs land in grades 4–6. Older kids who never quite locked in their tables also use them as a quick refresher — there is no shame in that. The SEVENS are hard at any age.
How long does it actually take a kid to memorize a table?
About a week of casual listening — three plays a day on the school run, no flashcards required. By Friday most kids can rap the chorus from a cold start. Locking it in cold (no audio cue) takes another week or two of light review. So roughly two to three weeks per table, working in the background of normal life.
Do I have to pay to listen?
No. Every song on this page is free to stream right here, and free in the Psalmix app. The app adds offline listening for road trips without signal, plus playlist building so you can queue up the specific table your kid is working on this week.
Are these songs explicit? They're hip-hop.
Hip-hop in style, classroom-clean in lyrics. No language, no innuendo, no themes that would surprise a second-grade teacher. Every song was built specifically for car-pool and classroom use, which means we hold a stricter line than mainstream radio.
Which table should we tackle first?
Start with the FOURS or FIVES — they are the easiest patterns and the fastest wins. Save SEVENS for after one or two early successes; it is the hardest table for almost every kid and you want a confidence base before you face it. Skip TENS until last as a freebie reward.
