The document provides tips for multiplying numbers 0-12. It explains tricks for multiplying by each number, such as doubling for 2, cutting in half and dropping the decimal for odd numbers, cutting in half and adding a 0 for even numbers, and duplicating the number for 11. The tricks are intended to make multiplication easier to learn.

5. It’s as simple as that!!0 x 1 = 00 x 2 = 00 x 3 = 0

8. 1’s1 x 4 = 41 x 5 = 51 x 6 = 6

10. 2 times any number is that number doubled=++22262 x 3 = 6

11. 2’s2’s

12. Please, Please, Bring on the 3’s…3’s

15. 4’s

16. 4’s

17. 4 x 1 = 4 ( 1 doubled is 2 and 2 doubled is 4 )4 x 2 = 8 ( 2 doubled is 4 and 4 doubled is 8 )4 x 3 = 12 ( 3 doubled is 6 and 6 doubled is 12 )

19. If you are multiplying by an odd number..Cut the number you are multiplying by in half then drop the decimal

20. 5 x 3 = 15 ( half of 3 is 1.5, then drop decimal)5 x 7 = 35 ( half of 7 is 3.5, then drop the decimal)5 x 9 = 45 ( half of 9 is 4.5, then drop the decimal)

21. 5If it is an even number…- Cut the number in half and add a 0

23. 6’s

24. Take the number your multiplying by and divide it in half.

25. Then multiply that number by ten.

26. Then add the original number you are multiplying by. 6 x 6 = 36 Half of 6 = 3 multiplied by 10 equals 30 then add 6 and you get 36. 6 x 7 = 42 Half of 7 is 3.5 multiplied by 10 equals 35 then add 7 and you get 42.6 x 8 = 48Half of 8 is 4 multiplied by 10 equals 40 then add 8 and you get 48.

27. 7’s

28. No need to be slick there isn’t a trick…7 x 7 = 497 x 8 = 56

29. 8’s

30. Once again use the tricks.. 8 x 8 = 64

31. 9’s

32. Subtract 1 from the number you are multiplying by then add a second number that adds up to nine..

33. 9 x 7 = ( 7 – 1 = 6, 6 +3 = 9 so the answer is 63)9 x 8 = ( 8 – 1 = 7, 7 +2 = 9 so the answer is 72)9 x 9 = ( 9 – 1 = 8, 8 +1 = 9 so the answer is 81)

34. 10’s

35. Just add a 0 to the number you are multiplying by10 x 2 = 20 10 x 3 = 3010 x 4 = 40

36. 11’s

37. Any number 1-10 multiplied by 11 is just duplicated.

38. 11 x 3 = 33(3 is multiplied by 11 so you just duplicate 3 side by side) 11 x 4 = 4411 x 5 = 55
