Multiplication and its tables are one of the most essential building blocks for mathematics. They help us memorize how to multiply numbers without needing to add the same number repeatedly. Using multiplication gets the answer much faster.
Let's look at a simple example. If you wanted to know how much 4 groups of 3 make, you could simply add the summation; 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 - Or you can simply find 4 x 3 = 12 using the table of 4.
When you eventually learn the multiplication tables from 1-10, here’s what you will see:
- You will be able to do math problems faster
- You will be able to understand the opposite of multiplication (division) better
- You will be better equipped to calculate larger numbers with confidence
- You will have a solid foundation to study higher math skills such as fractions, algebra, and word problems
With each table you will see a number increase ( like; 2, 5, or 10) by single groups of the number being multiplied (1, 2, 3, etc.) up to 10 and 15 or more.
If you practice multiplication tables, you will be able to learn it and be fast and accurate to do your math in school and in life.
Now, we will look at the tables of numbers 1-10, with multiples after that of the corresponding number. All numbers will follow the tables up to 15.
