Element & Math Table Cheat Sheet
- Master the 2s by Doubling - Multiplying by 2 is as simple as adding the number to itself. For example, 2 × 7 is just 7 + 7, giving you 14 in a snap. Practice on small numbers and build up to larger ones for a quick confidence boost. Multiplication Tips & Tricks on MathsIsFun
- Conquer the 4s with Double‑Doubling - To multiply by 4, just double a number twice in a row. If you start with 3, doubling gives you 6, then doubling 6 gives you 12, so 4 × 3 = 12. This trick speeds up mental math and boosts your number sense every time you use it! Multiplication Tips & Tricks on MathsIsFun
- Skip Count by 5s - Counting by fives is a breeze because each multiple ends in 0 or 5: 5, 10, 15, 20… and so on. Turn it into a chant or clap game to make it stick in your brain. Soon you'll spot any multiple of 5 at a glance! Multiplication Tips & Tricks on MathsIsFun
- Handy Trick for 9s - Use your fingers to tackle 9 × any number up to 10. For 9 × 6, fold down your sixth finger: you'll have 5 fingers on the left (tens) and 4 on the right (ones), so 54. It's a fun, visual hack that makes 9s a total cinch. Multiplication Tips & Tricks on MathsIsFun
- Multiply by 10 with Ease - Want 10 × 4? Just tack on a zero to 4 and boom - 40! This rule works for any whole number: 10 × 27 = 270, 10 × 123 = 1,230. It's the quickest mental shortcut you'll ever learn. Multiplication Tips & Tricks on MathsIsFun
- 11s are a Breeze - For single digits, just repeat the digit: 11 × 3 = 33, 11 × 7 = 77. Once you're ready to level up, learn the two‑digit trick (e.g., 11 × 23 = 253) by splitting and adding. Before you know it, you'll breeze through those "eleven" problems! Multiplication Tips & Tricks on MathsIsFun

- Use the Grid Method for Larger Numbers - Break numbers into tens and units, then multiply each part before adding them all together.

- FOIL Method for Binomials - When you multiply (a + b)(c + d), do First, Outer, Inner, Last: ac + ad + bc + bd. It's like following a mini‑recipe to make sure no term gets left out. Perfect for tackling algebraic expressions with confidence! FOIL Method on Wikipedia
- Practice with Mnemonics - Create catchy phrases for stubborn facts, like "I ate and I ate till I was sick on the floor" for 8 × 8 = 64. The sillier, the better - humor helps cement the concept in your memory. Then test yourself by inventing a new one each day! Mnemonic Tricks at WeAreTeachers
