For the 10 times table, just add a zero to the right! 10 ร N = N0. 10 ร 7 = 70. The easiest table and the foundation of decimal numbering.
โ ๏ธ Common mistakes
- 10 ร 0 = 0 forgotten ("add a zero to 0 = 00 = 0")
- 10 ร 11 = 110 โ many kids stop at 10 ร 10 = 100
- Confusing 10 ร 12 = 120 with 12 ร 10 (same result but needs integration)
