Multiplication Table

By Carisa Mainiero

A multiplication table lists the multiplication facts for numbers 0 - 12.

Why is this concept useful?

A multiplication table is a useful visual tool when learning multiplication facts, as well as when solving mathematical problems involving multiplication (example, multi-digit multiplication problems, word problems). Multiplication tables are also useful in real-world situations when we have to multiply the length and width to find the area of a rectangle or when we have to calculate the total cost of a certain number of identical items.

Where does this concept fit into the curriculum?

Grades 3 - 12

How can we use the concept:

A multiplication table is an aid that lists the multiplication tables for numbers 0 - 12. When viewing the multiplication facts for a particular number on the multiplication table, it becomes clear that we are actually adding a group of that number as we proceed down the table.

Ex.,

2 x 0 = 0 (no groups of 2 = 0)

2 x 1 = 2 (one group of 2 = 2)

2 x 2 = 4 (two groups of 2 = 2 + 2 = 4)

2 x 3 = 6 (three groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6)

2 x 4 = 8 (four groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8)

2 x 5 = 10 (five groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10)

2 x 6 = 12 (six groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12)

2 x 7 = 14 (seven groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14)

2 x 8 = 16 (eight groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16)

2 x 9 = 18 (nine groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 18)

2 x 10 = 20 (ten groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 20)

2 x 11 = 22 (eleven groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 22)

2 x 12 = 24 (twelve groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 24)

In this example, we are adding a group of 2 for each multiplication fact. Essentially, we can count by 2’s to find the answer (product) to a multiplication fact of 2.


Sample Math Problems

1. 2 x 1 =

Solution: 2 (only one group of 2)

2. 2 x 2 =

Solution: 4 (two groups of 2 = 2 + 2 = 4)

1. 2 x 3 =

Solution: 6 (three groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6)

3. 2 x 4 =

Solution: 8 (four groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8)

4. 2 x 5 =

Solution: 10 (five groups of 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10)
