| 10 × 2 | 20 |
| 10 × 3 | 30 |
| 10 × 4 | 40 |
| 10 × 5 | 50 |
| 10 × 6 | 60 |
| 10 × 7 | 70 |
| 10 × 8 | 80 |
| 10 × 9 | 90 |
| 10 × 10 | 100 |
| 10 × 11 | 110 |

Just add a zero
10 × a number is that number with a 0 after it. 10 × 7 = 70, 10 × 4 = 40, 10 × 9 = 90. No calculation, just shifting.
Every answer ends in 0
Every answer ends in 0. That also makes this table a handy base for others: 5 × X is half of 10 × X, 9 × X is 10 × X − X, and 11 × X is 10 × X + X.
Money is a quick way in
Ten coins of 5 cents is 50 cents. Ten notes of 20 is 200. The 10 times table shows up everywhere in money — children spot the pattern instantly.
Children typically learn the multiplication tables in Grades 2 and 3 (ages 7–9). The tables of 2, 5 and 10 are taught first, then 3, 4 and 6, and finally the harder tables of 7, 8 and 9. Most children know all tables up to 10 by the end of Grade 3.
What is 10 × 7?+
10 × 7 = 70. Add a 0 after the 7 and you have the answer.
Why is the 10 times table so easy?+
Because our number system is base 10. Multiplying by 10 just shifts every digit one place to the left — which is why you can simply add a 0 to the end.
How do you use the 10 times table for other tables?+
It is a springboard: 5 × X is half (5 × 8 = 80 / 2 = 40), 9 × X is 10 × X − X (9 × 8 = 80 − 8 = 72), and 11 × X is 10 × X + X (11 × 8 = 80 + 8 = 88).
What grade do children learn the 10 times table?+
The 10 times table is taught in Grade 2, together with the 2 and 5 times tables.
