Why make multiplication flash cards yourself

Handmade DIY multiplication flash cards work well because writing each fact makes you think about it, but cutting and copying dozens of pairs by hand eats up hours. If you already have a times table sheet, a worksheet photo, or class notes, DeckOwl can read them and produce the cards, so your effort goes into practice instead of preparation.

  • Start with 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 before the harder facts.
  • Keep sessions short, about 15 to 20 cards, and do them daily.
  • Write the answer and one way to check it, such as 6 × 7 = 6 × 6 + 6.
  • Review missed cards the same day so errors do not repeat.

Cards from your own sheets

Upload a times tables handout, a PDF of class notes, or a photo of a worksheet and get flashcards built from that material.

Spaced repetition

Facts you miss come back sooner, and the ones you know move to longer gaps, so practice time goes to the hard pairs.

Export when you need it

On Plus, export your multiplication cards to PDF or DOCX for printing, or to Anki and CSV for other study apps.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, slides, plain-text notes, or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the fronts and backs, then trim or add facts so the set matches the times tables you are working on.

Study on a schedule

Study in the browser each day. Missed cards return sooner, and mastered ones space out over time.

Spacing matters more than the number of cards. Start with the 2s, 5s, and 10s, then add 3s and 4s once those feel automatic, and keep the harder pairs like 7 × 8 in rotation until they stick.

Frequently asked questions

Which multiplication facts should I drill first?

Start with the 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 facts, since they are quick to learn and build a base. Move to the 3s, 4s, and 6s next, and save pairs like 7 × 8 and 9 × 8 for last.

How many multiplication cards should one session include?

Most people do well with 15 to 20 cards per session, mixing new facts with ones they already know. Shorter daily sessions usually stick better than one long cram.

Can I export my multiplication flashcards?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are part of the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study cards in your browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
