The 10, 11, and 12 Times Tables

Multiplication reaches past the standard tables to 10, 11 and 12. The pattern of gaining one zero is grasped through 10×1-Digit, 1-Digit×10, and for the eleven and twelve times tables the idea of splitting into tens and ones and adding is repeated in both Calculation and Fill in the Blank.

For 12 × 6, children settle for 10 × 6 = 60 and forget to add the 2 × 6 part. An answer short by twice the multiplier identifies this. The eleven times table leans on the repeated-digit run 11, 22, 33, so once past 9 the answers can no longer be produced.

Multiplication, kept until now to single-digit pairs, is stretched here to the 2-digit numbers 10, 11 and 12. It builds on the multiplying ability rounded out by Times Tables: 6 to 9 and 1, and it serves as a bridge into Multiplication in grade 3, where much larger numbers appear.
