Tables from 1 to 20

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

A multiplication table is a table that helps us solve the result when we multiply numbers. Learning times tables help children understand multiplication, one of the foundational math operations applied to an algebraic system. Times tables can be applied to everyday math problems from counting money to understanding time. In this topic, we will discuss more about tables from 1 to 20.

Tips to memorize multiplication tables 1 to 20

Kids might find times tables difficult at first, but it gets easier and super exciting with a few tricks.
Here are some engaging tips and tricks to help kids learn multiplication tables, quicker and easier.

Begin with easy times tables:
Start with easier tables like 2, 5, 9, and 10.
These have simple patterns that are followed, which makes it easier to memorize.
Once you get a hang of these, you can move to the bigger numbers.
Example: In the table of 2, start with 2 and double the number as you go.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
Doubling makes this table easy to learn.

Practice with real-life examples:
Try to use real-life situations to get a better understanding of multiplication tables.
For example, calculating the total number of days in weeks.

Identifying patterns:
Each times table follows a pattern.
Let's learn about these patterns.
It will help and make it easier for you to memorize!

For 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16:
Start by doubling numbers.
For the table of 2, just add 2 each time as mentioned above.
For 4, double the 2’s table.
For 8, double the 4’s table, and so on.
The pattern is all about doubling numbers step by step.

For 3, 6, 9, and 18:
The 3’s table follows a pattern of adding 3 every time.
The 6’s table is just double of 3’s table.
For the 9’s table, the one's digits count down from 9 to 0 in reverse order.

For the 13’s table:
Start with 13 and keep adding 13 to each result.
This is followed by a similar pattern.

For 5, 10, 15:
The 5’s table is easy since the numbers end in 0 or 5.
For 10, just add a zero after the number.
For 15, remember that 15 × 1 is 15, 15 × 2 is 30, and so on – just keep adding 15.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them in multiplication tables 1 to 20

It’s normal to make mistakes while learning multiplication tables. Let’s look at some common mistakes kids make when learning multiplication tables and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing multiplication with addition

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Multiplication is a repeated addition, and children might be confused between the same. For example, 6 × 5 = 30, instead of multiplying 6 by 5 times, they may just add 6 with 5 (6 + 5 = 11) which gives an incorrect answer.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Overlooking the pattern that the times table follows

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children find the multiplication table difficult to learn, as they ignore the pattern each table follows, which helps in memorizing the tables. For example, not recognizing that the table of 5 ends in 0 or 5.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Incorrectly multiplying by 0

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children incorrectly multiply 0, thinking it gives the same result as it happens with 1. Keep in mind that anything multiplied by 0 equals 0. For example, saying 8 × 0 = 8 instead of 8 × 0 = 0.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Not memorizing multiplication tables

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids sometimes rely too much on calculators or counting, even for lower multiplication tables. For example, 5 × 3 may be counted as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 instead of recalling it immediately.

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing multiplicand with multiplier

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Getting confused about which number goes in the first and second position can give incorrect answers. The multiplicand is the number being multiplied, while the multiplier tells you how many times to multiply the multiplicand. For example, in 7 × 8, 7 is the multiplicand and 8 is the multiplier. The order must not change the result: 7 × 8 = 8 × 7.
