What About the 12 Times Table?

Sounds tough, but once you have mastered the 10× table, it is just a few steps away.

	Firstly, 11× is mostly easy: from 11×2 to 11×9 you just put the two digits together. 11×2=22, 11×3=33, ..., 11×9=99.
	And of course 2×, 5× and 10× just follow their simple rules you know already, so it just leaves these to remember: 3×12=36, 4×12=48, 6×12=72, 7×12=84, 8×12=96, 9×12=108
	And the "Big 3": 11×11=121, 11×12=132 and 12×12=144

Tricks by Number

to multiply by	Trick
2	add the number to itself (example 2×9 = 9+9)
5	the last digit goes 5, 0, 5, 0, ...
	is always half of 10× (Example: 5x6 = half of 10x6 = half of 60 = 30)
	is half the number times 10 (Example: 5x6 = 10x3 = 30)
6	when you multiply 6 by an even number, they both end in the same digit. Example: 6×2=12, 6×4=24, 6×6=36, etc
9	the last digit goes 9, 8, 7, 6, ... your hands can help! Example: to multiply 9 by 8, hold your 8th finger down, and count "7" and "2", the answer is 72
	is 10× the number minus the number. Example: 9×6 = 10×6−6 = 60−6 = 54
	when you add the answer's digits together, you get 9. Example: 9×5=45 and 4+5=9. (But not with 9×11=99)
10	put a zero after it
11	up to 9x11: just repeat the digit (Example: 4x11 = 44)
	for 10x11 to 18x11: write the sum of the digits between the digits Example: 15x11 = 1(1+5)5 = 165 Note: this works for any two-digit number, but when the sum of the digits is more than 9, we need to"carry the one". Example: 75x11 = 7(7+5)5 = 7(12)5 = 825.
12	is 10× plus 2×
