Strategies to help remember Multiplication Tables
____________________________________________2
Add the number to itself (in other words, double it)
Example 2×9 = 9+9 = 18
____________________________________________
4
double, then double again
Example 4×9: double 9 is 18, double 18 is 36
____________________________________________5
Cut in half, then times 10
Example: 5x6: Cut 6 in half to get 3, then times 10 for 30
Or times 10 then cut in half
Example: 5x9: 9 times 10 is 90, then cut in half for 45
Also the last digit goes 5, 0, 5, 0, ... like this: 5, 10, 15, 20, ...
____________________________________________
6
when you multiply 6 by an even number, they both end in the same digit.
Examples: 6×2=12, 6×4=24, 6×6=36, etc
____________________________________________
7×8
Think "5,6,7,8": 56=7×8
____________________________________________8
Double, double, double!
Example: 8×6: double 6 is 12, double 12 is 24, double 24 is 48
_______________________________
9
is 10× the number minus the number.
Example: 9×6 = 10×6−6 = 60−6 = 54
the ones digit goes 9, 8, 7, 6, ...: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, ...
the tens digit goes 0, 1, 2, 3, ...: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, ...
subtract one to get the tens digit, and the tens and ones digit together make 9
Example: 9×5: tens digit is 4, 4 and 5 make 9, so 45
Example: 9×8: tens digit is 7, 7 and 2 make 9, so 72_____________________________________________
your hands can help! Example: to multiply 9 by 8, hold your 8th finger down, and count "7" and "2", the answer is 72______________________________________
10
put a zero after it
Example: 10×2 = 20
_____________________________________
11
up to 11x9: just repeat the digit. Example: 11x4 = 44
for 11×10 to 11×18: write the sum of the digits between the digits
Example: 11×15 = 1(1+5)5 = 165Note: this works for any two-digit number, but when the sum of the digits is more than 9, we need to"carry the one". Example: 11×75 = 7(7+5)5 = 7(12)5 = 825.
____________________________________________
12
is 10× plus 2×
Example: 12×4 = 40+8 = 48
____________________________________________
15
multiply by 10, then add half again
Example: 15×4 = 40+20 = 60
Example: 15×9 = 90+45 = 135
____________________________________________
20
multiply by 10, then double
Example: 20×4 = 40+40 = 80
Example: 20×7 = 70+70 = 140
____________________________________________
It's also helpful to remember your square(when you multiply a number by itself.)
1×1 =1
2×2 =43×3 =9
4×4 =16
5×5 =25
6×6 =36
7×7 =49
8×8 =64
9×9 =81
10×10 =100
11×11 =121
12×12 =144
Last trick I know:
5×5 = 25 is just one bigger than 6×4 = 24
6×6 = 36 is just one bigger than 7×5 = 35
7×7 = 49 is just one bigger than 8×6 = 48
8×8 = 64 is just one bigger than 9×7 = 63
This is a good video to memorize your multiplication tables.
I'm going to test you, okay Skippy?
Using this chart:If you dont know how to use it:
This is a fun way to learn how to use it. (I suggest watching because its catchy and you can memorize your tables)
Also, Everyday I'm going to start asking you 5 questions about the multiplication table. Example:
7×8
EtcSo first, you know your 1-5 so lets start there.
1×6
2×6
3×6
4×6
5×6
6×6
7×6
8×6
9×6
10×6
Using the strategies I gave you, or using the box... Please comment the answers below and try to practice them as often as possible.
Once you answer these you'll be done for the day with your questions, and from here on out it will only be 5 questions instead of 10.
