The 10 times table
The table that teaches place value: each digit moves one place to the left.

How to learn the 10 times table
- 1
Move one place
10 × 7: the 7 moves from the ones to the tens, and a 0 holds the ones place. Schools teach it this way rather than “add a 0”, which goes wrong with decimals later.
- 2
Count in tens
10, 20, 30, 40: counting in 10s on fingers gives every fact. Ten fingers, ten 10s, a hundred.

A helper for others
The 10s unlock other tables: 5s are half of them, 9s are one lot less, 11s and 12s are one or two lots more.
The pattern in the 10s
The last digit of each answer, from 10 × 1 to 10 × 12. Every answer ends in 0.

Questions parents ask
How can my child learn the 10 times table?
Five minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday. Start with the facts they already know from other tables (turn 10 × 5 round and it’s 5 × 10), then learn one trick: each digit moves one place to the left. Then play: answering from memory, again and again, is what makes facts stick, and a game makes them want to.
