Multiplication facts to 10
key notes:
✅ Multiplication Means Repeated Addition
- 💡 Multiplication is adding the same number again and again.
- Example: 4 × 3 = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
🔢 Factors & Product
- Factor ➜ The numbers being multiplied (e.g., 6 × 4)
- Product ➜ The answer (e.g., 24)
✨ 6 and 4 are factors, 24 is the product.
🔁 Commutative Property
- The order of numbers doesn’t change the answer.
- Example: 7 × 3 = 3 × 7 = 21 🔄
🧩 Skip Counting Helps!
Use skip counting to find answers:
- 5 × 4 = (5, 10, 15, 20) = 20
- 3 × 6 = (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18) = 18
🌈 Multiply Using Patterns
| Fact | Pattern Trick |
|---|---|
| ×2 | Double the number ✌️ |
| ×5 | Ends with 0 or 5 🖐️ |
| ×10 | Add a zero at the end 🔟 |
| ×9 | Sum of digits = 9 (9×4=36 → 3+6=9) ✅ |
