What are multiplication tables?
A multiplication table is a list, consisting of the product of two numbers. The product can either be a single-digit number or multiple digits. Multiplication tables help in calculating simple events in daily life.
Multiplication Tables from 1 to 100 list
Using a multiplication table, kids can learn multiplication more effectively. Students can easily learn the multiplication table by practicing regularly. Tools like worksheet, flash cards, timetables, easy tricks are used to make learning easier for children. Let's check all the multiplication tables from 1 to 100.
Importance of Multiplication Tables for Students
The basics of math include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. For doing multiplication and division, one must be aware of multiplication tables. It is very important to have a strong foundation on multiplication.
Learning basic multiplication tables makes it easier to do bigger multiplication. And moreover, it increases one’s mental math skills. When kids memorize multiplication tables, it makes it easy for them to do mental math.
Tips and tricks to learn multiplication tables
Multiplication is a part of basic math skills, so it is significant to learn multiplication tables. To learn tables faster, follow the tips and tricks mentioned below.
- Memorization is one of the effective methods to learn tables. Memorizing multiplication tables makes it easy to do complex multiplication.
- While introducing multiplication tables to kids, try to use exclusive multiplication tables for kids. Because visual representations can easily attract kids.
- A multiplication table can be understood through repeated addition.
For example, let's have a look at the multiplication table of 2.
| Multiplication | Addition |
|---|---|
| 2 × 1 = 2 | 2 = 2 |
| 2 × 2 = 4 | 2 + 2 = 4 |
| 2 × 3 = 6 | 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 |
| 2 × 4 = 8 | 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 |
| 2 × 5 = 10 | 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 |
| 2 × 6 = 12 | 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12 |
The same repeated addition can be followed in all the tables.
- The result of the tables ends with the number 0, like 10, 20, 30, etc. We can multiply the number in tens place with the multiplier and then add 0 to the end.
For example, 10 × 5 = 50 can be calculated as 1 × 5 = 5, and if we add a 0, it gives the result of 50.
- Multiplication has a commutative property, i.e., a × b = b × a
For example, 5 × 3 = 15, 3 × 5 = 15.
- When multiplying larger numbers is difficult. So, break down the number to avoid errors. For example,
25 × 5 = 125
It can be split into,
(20 × 5) + (5 × 5)
= 100 + 25 = 125.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them in multiplication tables
While learning multiplication tables, students tend to make errors. Students tend to make the same mistakes, mostly. So let’s check out some common mistakes and ways to avoid them. To master multiplication tables, try to avoid these common mistakes.
Mistake 1
Understanding Any Pattern for Particular Table
For easy learning, children should crack a few tricks for tables. Like table of 5 will always end with 0 or 5. Table of 2 will always end with an even number and many more. So, try to understand these visual patterns for better understanding.
Mistake 2
Following the Same Pattern for All Multiplication Tables
Mostly, students follow the same pattern for different tables, which can lead to errors. The pattern for each multiplication table is different. Each table has a different skip count. So, make sure to understand the concept and pattern of each table.
For example, some patterns are:
The pattern of table 2 is that it has only even numbers.
The multiplication table of 5 ends with 0 or 5. The pattern of the multiplication tables of 5 is 5, 0, 5, 0.
In the multiplication table of 10, all the products end with 0. For example, 10, 20, 30, and so on.
Mistake 3
Errors while Multiplying Large Numbers
Students tend to make errors while multiplying large numbers. To avoid this error, it's better to use the split method. For example, 64 × 5
64 × 5 = (60 × 5) + (4 × 5)
= 300 + 20 = 320
Mistake 4
Lack of Regular Practice
Use multiplication grids, timetable worksheets, multiplication table games, multiplication flashcards, etc. for practicing regularly.
Mistake 5
Not focusing on lower numbers
When learning multiplication tables, start with smaller numbers. Then gradually, with bigger numbers, it can be complex. That is why during the introduction of multiplication tables, kids are introduced to smaller numbers.
What is a multiplication chart
A multiplication chart is a chart that displays the product of two numbers. The numbers are listed in the first column and row. The result is written in the corresponding grids. Times table charts make it easy for students to learn multiplication tables.
How to use multiplication chart
Multiplication charts are one of the best ways to practice math tables. It is the multiplication grid, consisting of the numbers and their products. Let’s check how to use a multiplication chart.
Step 1: First we need to locate the numbers, from the first row and column.
Step 2: Find the grid where the row and column intersect.
Multiplication chart from 1 to 12
The times table chart from 1 to 12 consists of the product from 1 to 12 in a grid format. The numbers from 1 to 12 are written in the first row and first column. Each intersecting grid has the product of the numbers.
Real-world applications of multiplication tables
Multiplication tables play a major role in our daily lives. We can see some real-world applications.
1. Scaling Recipes:
1. Scaling Recipes:
When cooking, the quantity of ingredients is sometimes scaled according to the portions required. This is a classic example of the usage of multiplication in real life. For example, measuring ingredients according to the quantity.
2. Simplifying Finances:
2. Simplifying Finances:
We use multiplication while calculating expenses. For example, while shopping, multiplication is used to calculate the interest, returns, daily expenses, etc.
3. Practical Applications:
3. Practical Applications:
We use it for traveling, construction, planning events, and so on.
Multiplication tables play a major role in our daily lives. We can see some real-world applications.
Multiplication tables example
Problem 1
Find the product of 15 × 36 Using split method
(15 × 30) + (15 ×6) = 540
Explanation
In the split method, the number is split according to the place value. Here the number 36 is large, so split it into 30 and 6. The split numbers are multiplied by the given number. And the products we get need to be added together.
Problem 2
The cost of 1 kg of apples is 50 rupees. Then what would be the cost for 5 kg?
The cost for 5 kg of apples is 250 rupees.
Explanation
The cost of 5 kg of apples = the cost of 1 kg × 5
= 50 × 5 = 250 Rupees
Problem 3
Fill the patterns a- 2, 4, 6, _, 10, 12. b- 5, 10, 15, _, 25.
The patterns are
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Explanation
The patterns are the multiplication table of 2 and 5 respectively. So, to fill the blank, adding 2 and 5 respectively with the previous number is required.
Problem 4
If a person works for 1 hr, he can earn 90 points. If the working hours are 8, then how much can he earn in a day?
The points the person can earn in 8 hrs are 720
Explanation
total points earned = Points earned in an hour × number of hours
= 90 × 8 = 720
Problem 5
The cost of one dress is 359, calculate the cost for 6 dresses.
The cost of 6 dresses is 2154.
Explanation
Multiply the cost of one dress (359) with the total dresses (6), to find the total cost of the dresses.
359 cost of a dress x 6 total dresses = 2154.
