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 group less, 11s and 12s are one or two groups 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 around 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.
When do children learn the 10 times table?
Children skip count by 10s in 2nd grade, and Common Core expects them to know all the facts from memory by the end of 3rd grade.
What is the hardest fact in the 10 times table?
None, once place value makes sense. The ones to watch are 10 × 11 = 110 and 10 × 12 = 120.
