Multiplication tables for 2, 3, 4, 5, 10

Key Notes :

🎯 What is Multiplication?

Multiplication means repeated addition ➕➕

  • Example: 3 × 4 = 12 means 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

It helps us count equal groups faster ⏱️

🔢 Table of 2 (Skip count by 2s)

🧡 Counting pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

📌 Every answer is even

📘 Example:

  • 2 × 4 = 8
  • 2 × 7 = 14

💙 Table of 3 (Skip count by 3s)

💡 Counting pattern: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

⭐ A little trick:

  • The digits repeat a pattern (3, 6, 9 → 12, 15, 18 → 21, 24, 27 🌀)

📘 Example:

  • 3 × 5 = 15
  • 3 × 8 = 24

💚 Table of 4 (Skip count by 4s)

Counting pattern: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40

🎯 Trick: 4 = 2 + 2

  • So 4 × n = double of (2 × n)

📘 Example:

  • 4 × 3 = 12
  • 4 × 6 = 24

💛 Table of 5 (Skip count by 5s)

Counting pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50

⭐ Trick:

  • All answers end in 0 or 5 🎉

📘 Example:

  • 5 × 4 = 20
  • 5 × 7 = 35

💜 Table of 10 (Skip count by 10s)

Counting pattern: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

🌟 Trick:

  • Just add 0 to the number!
  • Example: 10 × 6 = 60

📘 Example:

  • 10 × 3 = 30
  • 10 × 9 = 90

🎉 Easy Memory Tips

  • 👀 Look for patterns in answers
  • 🔄 Practice skip counting (2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 10s)
  • 🗣️ Say the tables aloud daily
  • 🎮 Use games, claps, jumps to make it fun!

Multiply by 3

 Multiplication is adding the same number repeatedly.

 To multiply by 3, you add a number to itself 3 times.

What’s 2 × 3?

You can draw equal groups to help figure it out.

2 × 3 is a shortcut for writing:

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

Tip: Do skip-counting in your head to figure it out:

2, 4, 6

The Multiplication Table of 3

  • 3×1 =3
  • 3×2 =6
  • 3×3 =9
  • 3×4 =12
  • 3×5 =15
  • 3×6 =18
  • 3×7 =21
  • 3×8 =24
  • 3×9 =27
  • 3×10 =30

Multiply by 4

Multiplication is repeated addition.

How to Multiply by 4

When you multiply a number by 4, it’s like adding equal groups four times.

For example:

4 x 4 = ?

4 × 4 is a shortcut for writing:

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = ?

Let’s draw 4 groups, with 4 stars in each group.

If we count the stars altogether, we’ll have 16 stars.

So we see that 4 x 4 is 16!

Secret Trick: Skip count!

Do you know what 8 x 4 is?

If you don’t, just skip count by one of the numbers to find out. Then memorize it!

We can skip count by either factor. Let’s skip count by 8, four times:

8, 16, 24, 32

So 8 x 4 = 32! 

You can use skip counting to solve any multiplication problem you don’t know, but then it’s important to memorize the answers.

Multiplication table of 4

  • 4×1= 4
  • 4×2= 8
  • 4×3= 12
  • 4×4= 16
  • 4×5= 20
  • 4×6= 24

  • 4×8= 32
  • 4×9= 36
  • 4×10= 40
  • 4×11= 44
  • 4×12= 48

Multiply by 5

Multiplying by 5 is like skip counting by the other factor 5 times!

Ex: 2 x 5 =?

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10

Multiplication Table of 5

  • 5×1= 5
  • 5×2= 10

Multiply by 10

Any time we multiply a whole number by 10 we’re gonna keep the original number and simply add a zero to the end.

1 × 10 = 10
2 × 10 = 20
3 × 10 = 30
4 × 10 = 40
5 × 10 = 50

multiplication table of 10

  • 1 × 10 = 10
  • 2 × 10 = 20
  • 3 × 10 = 30
  • 4 × 10 = 40
  • 5 × 10 = 50
  • 6 × 10 = 60
  • 7 × 10 = 70
  • 8 × 10 = 80
  • 9 × 10 = 90
  • 10 × 10 = 100
  • 11 × 10 = 110
  • 12 × 10 = 120

💡 Multiplying a number by 10 is the same as adding a number to itself 10 times.

3 x 10 = ?

To figure out the answer, we can do repeated addition:

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =30 😅

Learn with an example

Multiply.

3 x 2 =

This array shows that 3 × 2 = 6. It has 3 rows with 2 dots in each row.

There are 6 dots in all.

3 x 2 = 6

This number line also shows that 3 × 2 = 6. Count by 2s on the number line. Count forward 3 times.

The last arrow ends at 6.

3 x 2 = 6

Multiply.

3 x 4 =

This array shows that 3 × 4 = 12. It has 3 rows with 4 dots in each row.

There are 12 dots in all.

3 x 4 = 12

This number line also shows that 3 × 4 = 12. Count by 4s on the number line. Count forward 3 times.

The last arrow ends at 12.

3 x 4 = 12

Multiply.

3 × 3 =

This array shows that 3 × 3 = 9. It has 3 rows with 3 dots in each row.

There are 9 dots in all.

3 × 3 = 9

This number line also shows that 3 × 3 = 9. Count by 3s on the number line. Count forward 3 times.

The last arrow ends at 9.

3 × 3 = 9

Let’s practice!
