Multiplication Facts

The best study guide for times tables is a grid of math from 0 through 12 so that a pattern can be followed.   For the first set of five factors there are a number of basic rules.  Once we get into the 6 to 12 factors we simply double or triple the answer as necessary.   For example, if we know that 8x4=32 then we know that 8x8=64 because it is the same as 8x (4×2)=64.

Here is the chart.

X.  |  0. |   1.  |   2.  .....   |   10.  |  11.  |   12.  |
------------------------------------------------------------------
0. |       |         |                 |          |          |           |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. |       |         |                 |          |          |           |
------------------------------------------------------------------
2. |       |         |                 |          |          |           |
------------------------------------------------------------------

Through the middle there will a dividing line coming down from the X showing the squares.
