The trick for the 10 times table: put a 0 on the end

Every digit moves one place to the left, and a 0 fills the ones place.

Patterns in the 10 times table

Saying the table out loud helps too: ten times one is 10, ten times two is 20…

  1. Ten times one is 10.
  2. Ten times two is 20.
  3. Ten times three is 30.
  4. Ten times four is 40.
  5. Ten times five is 50.

See the 10 times table

Draw these with your child. Each one shows that multiplying by 10 means counting equal groups of 10.

An array: 3 rows of 10 is 30. Turn it and it shows 10 × 3.

Skip counting: 4 jumps of 10 land on 40, so 4 × 10 = 40.

Facts you already know

It is one of the first tables, together with 2 and 5. It also unlocks the 5, 9, 11 and 12 tricks.

Because it is one of the first tables, most facts are new. Every one of them follows the pattern above. Each fact learned here also gives a fact in a later table for free: once you know 10 × 7 = 70, you also know 7 × 10.

The table also works backwards as division: 30 ÷ 10 = 3 · 70 ÷ 10 = 7 · 120 ÷ 10 = 12.

In real life: We have 10 fingers and 10 toes, and money comes in 10s: ten 10-rupee notes or ten dimes is 100. How many pencils in 3 packs of pencils? 3 × 10 = 30.

Common mistakes with the 10 times table

✗Writing 10 × 10 = 1000.✓ One 0 is added, not two: 10 × 10 = 100.
✗Later, adding a 0 to decimals: 10 × 2.5 = 2.50.✓ The digits move one place left: 10 × 2.5 = 25. See multiplying by 10, 100, 1000.

What to say to your child

A short script for your first 10 times table session. Pause after each line and let your child answer.

  1. “How many fingers on 3 people’s hands?” (30.)
  2. “10 × 4: put a 0 on the end of 4.” (40.)
  3. “What is 10 × 12?” (120.) “And 12 × 10?” (Also 120.)
  4. “If 10 × 6 is 60, what is 5 × 6?” (Half: 30.)

The 10 times table as division facts

Every multiplication fact has a division fact hiding inside it. If 10 × 6 = 60, then 60 shared into groups of 10 makes 6 groups. Here are the division facts for the table of 10:

  1. 10 ÷ 10 = 1
  2. 20 ÷ 10 = 2
  3. 30 ÷ 10 = 3
  4. 40 ÷ 10 = 4
  5. 50 ÷ 10 = 5
  6. 60 ÷ 10 = 6
  7. 70 ÷ 10 = 7
  8. 80 ÷ 10 = 8
  9. 90 ÷ 10 = 9
  10. 100 ÷ 10 = 10
  11. 110 ÷ 10 = 11
  12. 120 ÷ 10 = 12

Four facts with the same three numbers make a fact family.

10 × 7 = 70 · 7 × 10 = 70 · 70 ÷ 10 = 7 · 70 ÷ 7 = 10

Learning the table this way means your child learns division at the same time. To check a division answer, multiply back (see check division with multiplication).

Multiples of 10

The answers in the 10 times table are the multiples of 10. They go on forever: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80… Every multiple of 10 can be split into equal groups of 10 with nothing left over.

Is it a multiple of 10? A number is in the 10 times table if it ends in 0. Try it on 430: it is 10 × 43. Older children use these tests to find factors and multiples and to simplify fractions.

10 times table word problems

Word problems show your child when to use the table. Read each one aloud, ask “how many groups, and how many in each group?”, then multiply.

  1. Groups to total. How many pencils in 6 packs of pencils? There are 6 groups of 10, so 6 × 10 = 60 pencils.
  2. Total to groups. 90 pencils are put into groups of 10. How many groups? Ask “10 times what is 90?” The answer is 9.
  3. Two steps. Count the pencils in 4 packs of pencils, then in 3 more. That is 40 + 30 = 70. Quicker: 4 + 3 = 7 groups, and 7 × 10 = 70.

For more practice, see multiplication word problems.

A 5-day plan for the 10 times table

  1. Day 1: learn the trick (put a 0 on the end) and say the table forwards.
  2. Day 2: say it backwards, then answer the practice questions in order.
  3. Day 3: mixed order, with extra time on 10 × 11 and 10 × 12.
  4. Day 4: missing numbers and division: 10 × ? = 80 and 80 ÷ 10.
  5. Day 5: the 1-minute challenge, then the worksheet.

Five minutes a day is enough. A fact is learned when the answer comes in about 3 seconds without counting. Come back to the table once a week after that, so it stays fresh.
