Quick revision
Remember these!
- The table of 2: 2,4,6,8,10... (skip counting by 2).
- The table of 5: 5,10,15,20... (ends in 0 or 5).
- The table of 10: 10,20,30... (the number with a zero added).
- Multiplication tables help us multiply quickly.
- Tables build on the idea of repeated addition.
- Memorising small tables saves time.
- Patterns make tables easier to remember.
- Tables of 2, 5 and 10 are good starting points.
