Patterns in the 10 times table
Each result is the other number with a zero written on its right: 10 × 7 = 70, 10 × 12 = 120. Every result ends in 0.
Units digits of the first ten results: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.
The trick that works
For the 10 times table, just add a zero to the right! 10 × N = N0. 10 × 7 = 70. The easiest table and the foundation of decimal numbering.
What you already know
Because 10 × 9 = 9 × 10, the order does not change the result. If you already know the 1 to 9 times tables, you already know 9 results of the 10 times table (10 × 1 to 10 × 9). Only 3 new results remain to learn: 10 × 10 = 100, 10 × 11 = 110, 10 × 12 = 120.
Common mistakes
- 10 × 0 = 0 forgotten ("add a zero to 0 = 00 = 0")
- 10 × 11 = 110 — many kids stop at 10 × 10 = 100
- Confusing 10 × 12 = 120 with 12 × 10 (same result but needs integration)
A real-world example
10 fingers per child. 5 kids = 10 × 5 = 50 fingers. A $10 bill × 4 = $40.
Linking the 10 times table to the other tables
The 10 times table is the double of the 5 times table: 10 × k = 2 × (5 × k). Example: 10 × 7 = 2 × (5 × 7) = 2 × 35 = 70.
