What this worksheet covers
This sheet extends the facts to 12 × 12, the size of the largest grid on most multiplication charts. The elevens and twelves are mixed in with the rest, so a student has to know that 11 × 7 is 77 and 12 × 8 is 96 as well as the single-digit table. The facts with 0 and 1 are left out, since they are rules, not memory work.
Who it is for
Third and fourth grade. The standard (3.OA.C.7) stops at 10 × 10, but many curricula carry on to 12 because of dozens, clock minutes and money. Use it when a class has secured the facts to 10.
Multiplying two numbers from 2 to 12 · grades 3 and 4
A worked example
For 12 × 7, split the 12 into 10 and 2: 10 × 7 is 70 and 2 × 7 is 14, so 70 + 14 = 84. Ask students to try the same split on 12 × 9, then on 12 × 6, and to say it aloud in the same words each time.
Mistakes to watch for
- Carrying a 10 incorrectly, as 12 × 6 = 62 by writing 12 × 6 as 6 and 2. Break the 12 into 10 and 2 instead.
- Treating 11 × 12 as 112 because of the repeated-digit rule. Let the rule stop at 9 × 11.
