Multiplication is a way to add up multiples. It involves doubling, adding numbers to themselves, and counting by various increments like 5s and 10s. Mastering multiplication tables requires practice with timed tests and relating numbers to real world examples. Continued practice is important to learn multiplication facts.

2. What is it…
! Multiplication is another way to add up multiples
! We start with 0 and move up through the real number
system.
! There are a number of secrets that make certain
multiplication tables easier

3. How to learn 0&1
Multiplications
! 0 times any number is 0.
! This always is true.
! ie. 1x0=0, 5x0=0, 560x0=0
• 1 times a number is the number that is
being multiplied
! When multiplying by ones the number you are multiplying by 1
is your answer.
! ie. 1x4=4, 1x6=6, 1x7=7, 1x435=435

4. 2’s
The secret of two multiplication
tables
• YOU WANT TO DOUBLE
THE NUMBER
• ie. 4x2=4+4=8
• ADD THE NUMBER TO
ITSELF
• ie. 2x2=2+2=4

5. 5’s
! All you need to do five multiplications is to be
able to count by 5’s.
! 5..10.15..20..25..30….
! ie. 5x4
! 5…10…15..20
! ie. 8x5
! 5….10…15..20…25

6. 9’s
The finger trick for
nine makes it much
easier to get these
multiplications
-only can go up to 9x9
with the trick

7. 10’s
! Our number system is a ten based
system.
! Multiplications by 10 are similar to
ones but you add the zero.
! ie. 10x9=90
! You can also count by 10’s
! 10x5= 10..20..30..40..50

8. 11’s
! 11’s are similar to the “1”
multiplication tables as well because
it is like multiplying by two 1’s in a
visual sense.
! ie. 11x5=55
! 11x5=55 and 11x5=55
! 11x3=33

9. Practice Makes Perfect
! Timed Multiplication Tables are a great way to practice
! Doing multiplication at home with everyday items is
good as well.
! We can count out counters in our classes or use linker
cubes to do 5 & 10 times tables
! Don’t give up because all you need is continued
practice!!!
