The Addition Table:

Multiplication

The Zero Multiplication Facts

Multiplication is repeated addition so: 
0 x 3 = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 
0 x 7 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 


Because of the commutative property of multiplication: 
0 x 4 = 4 x 0 = 0 
0 x 9 = 9 x 0 = 0 


Any number times zero is always zero!

The Ones Multiplication Facts

Multiplication is repeated addition so: 
1 x 4 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 
1 x 2 = 1 + 1 = 2 
1 x 5 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 
3 x 1 = 3 
9 x 1 = 9 


Because of the commutative property of multiplication: 


1 x 4 = 4 x 1 = 4 
1 x 8 = 8 x 1 = 8 


Any number times one is always itself! 

The Twos Multiplication Facts 
Multiplication is repeated addition so: 
2 x 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 (or 2 fours) 
2 x 3 = 3 + 3 = 6 (or 2 threes) 
2 x 5 = 5 + 5 = 10 (or 2 fives) 


Because of the commutative property of multiplication: 
4 x 2 = 2 x 4 = 8 
8 x 2 = 2 x 8 = 16 


Any number times two is the number doubled! 


2 x 7 would be 7 + 7 or 14 
6 x 2 would be 6 + 6 or 12

The Fours Multiplication Facts

Double-double the number you are multiplying four by. (Double it twice) 
4 x 3 (Double 3 twice) 
3 doubled is 6, 6 doubled is 12 


4 x 6 (Double 6 twice) 
6 doubled is 12, 12 doubled is 24) 


Another way to figure the answer is double the answer you would get if you multiplied the number by 2.

 
4 x 3 (Double the 2 x 3 answer) 
The answer to 3 x 2 = 6 
Double the 6 to get 12 


4 x 6 (Double the 2 x 6 answer) 
The answer to 2 x 6 = 12 
Double the 12 to get 24 

The Fives Muliplication Facts

If you can count by fives, method 1 makes the fives simple 


3 x 5 would be 3 fives. Count by five to the third number. 5, 10, 15 (The answer is 15, because the third number, when you count by fives, is 15) 


6 x 5 would be 6 fives. Count by fives to the sixth number. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 (The answer is 30.) 


Because of the commutative property of multiplication: 
5 x 3 = 3 x 5 = 15 
5 x 6 = 6 x 5 = 30

The Nines Muliplication Facts

This is the one less = nine method
Subtract one from the number you are multiplying by. 9 x 5 (One less than 5 is 4) 
The first number in the answer is 4. The two numbers that make up the answer will equal 9. So 4 + __ = 9 (5) 
The last number in the answer is 5. 
9 x 5 = 45 
One less than 5 is 4 (45) 
The answer adds up to nine. 4 + 5 = 9 


Here is another example: 
9 x 8 
One less than 8 is 7. So the first number in the answer is 7. 
7 + 2 equals 9. So the second number in the answer is 2.

Another Nines Method

Hold your hands in front of you with your fingers spread out. 
For 9 X 3 bend your third finger down. (9 X 4 would be the fourth finger etc.) 
You have 2 fingers in front of the bent finger and 7 after the bent finger 
Thus the answer must be 27 
This technique works for the 9 times tables up to 10. 

 

 

Rhymes

Here are some rhymes that will help you remember some of the remaining times tables. 
8 x 8 = 64 
He ate and he ate and he sticks in the door, eight times eight is sixty-four. 
Eight times eight fell on the floor, picked it up it's sixty four. 


6 x 6 = 36 
Six times six equals thirty six (It rhymes) 
Chicks, Chicks, dirty chicks - six times six is thirty six.
