Know the tricks for the Times tables!

Why complicate life when there are so many tricks that can help you learn faster! Here we offer you only the most effective tricks, the ones that will really save you time in learning your multiplication tables:

1- No need to learn the whole multiplication Chart!

There is a symmetry in the multiplication chart passing through the diagonal, i.e. the multiplications located on one side of the diagonal are equivalent to those located on the other side. Instead of 100 multiplications in the 10x10 table (144 in the table of 12), there are actually only 36 to learn (55 for the table of 12)! To learn more about multiplications that you don't need to learn, see our tricks for the 10x10 chart or our tricks for the 12x12 chart.

2- Tricks for the 1 Time table

When a number is multiplied by 1, the result is always the number (Example: 8 x 1 = 8).

3- Tricks for the 2 and 4 Times table

The common point of these 2 tables is that the result always ends with 0,2,4,6 or 8.

4- Tricks for the 5 Times table

The result of this table always ends with 0 or 5.

5- Tricks for the 6 Times table

It's the table that rhymes! Indeed, in this table, there are 3 multiplications which rhyme and which will be thus much easier to memorize than the others. They are 6x4=24, 6x6=36, 6x8=48. The ideal is to repeat aloud several times these 3 multiplications and you will see that, thanks to the rhymes, you will learn them very fast!

6- Tricks for the 9 Times table

When you multiply a number by 9, the result always starts with the number from which you have subtracted 1 (number - 1). Example: 9 x 8 = 72 (because 8-1 =7). Moreover, the sum of the 2 digits of the result is always equal to 9. Example: 9 x 8 = 72 (7+2=9).

7- Tricks for the 10 Times table

When a number is multiplied by 10, the result is the number followed by a zero (Example: 8 x 10 = 80).
