Tips for 16 Times Table

1. 16 doesn’t have any rules that make the multiplication table of 16 easy to memorize, but there is a pattern for every five multiples of sixteen: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160

2. The last digit of these multiples always repeat, which means that students can remember these digits to help them with the 16 times table.

Another way to memorize the table of 16 up to 10 is:

As you can notice in the above image, the digits which are on the unit’s place first are written in a sequence of 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 all the 4 rows of the two grids visible. For the tens place write all the numbers and repeat every number which is multiple of 4. Hence, 4, 8, and 12 are repeated. Every alternate number after 16 is circled and the numbers represent 16 times table.

Table of 16 up to 20

We have obtained the first ten multiples of 16. Let us evaluate the table of 16 up to 20.

16 × 11 = 176	16 × 16 = 256
16 × 12 = 192	16 × 17 = 272
16 × 13 = 208	16 × 18 = 288
16 × 14 = 224	16 × 19 = 304
16 × 15 = 240	16 × 20 = 320

Worksheet on 16 Times Table

1. Example 1: Using 16 times table, evaluate 16 times 8 minus 10.Solution:First, express 16 times 8 minus 10 mathematically i.e. 16 times 8 minus 10Using 16 times table, we have 16 times 8 = 128 i.e. 128 – 10 = 118Hence, 16 times 8 minus 10 is 118.
2. Example 2: Solve using multiplication table of 16: 16 times 5 plus 12.Solution:First, we will write 16 times 5 plus 12 mathematically.Using 16 times table, we have, 16 times 5 plus 12 = 16 × 5 + 12 = 80 + 12 = 92Hence, 16 times 5 plus 12 is 92.
3. Example 3: Sarah’s mom made 4 pizzas. Sarah divided each into 4 quadrants. She found 5 olive pieces on each quadrant. Using 16 times table find how many olive pieces in total are put on top of the 4 pizzas?Solution:4 pizzas times 4 quadrants times 5 olives i.e. 16 quadrants times 5 olives.Let’s express this mathematically i.e. 16 × 5 = 80Hence, 80 olive slices are on the top of the pizzas in all.
4. Example 4: Use table of 16 to evaluate: 16 times 16 minus 16 plus 3?Solution:First, we will write 16 times 16 minus 16 plus 3 mathematically.16 times 16 minus 16 plus 3 = 16 × 16 – 16 + 3 = 256 – 13 = 243Hence, 16 times 16 minus 16 plus 3 is 243.

Multiplication Tips and Tricks

Some Tips and Tricks

Here are some tips and tricks to help you with multiplication.

Everyone thinks differently, so just ignore any tricks that don’t make sense to you.

First of all: Memory is your best friend!

With the multiplication table in your memory you simply know that 3×5=15, 6×8=48 etc.

Memory is fast, too.

Math Trainer – Multiplication is designed to
help you remember your tables.

The Best Trick

Every multiplication has a twin, which may be easier to remember.

For example if you forget 8×2, you might remember 2×8=16. This way, you only have to remember half the table.

Tricks by Number

2

add the number to itself (in other words, double it)
Example 2×9 = 9+9 = 184

double, then double again
Example 4×9: double 9 is 18, double 18 is 365

Cut in half, then times 10
Example: 5×6: Cut 6 in half to get 3, then times 10 for 30

Or times 10 then cut in half
Example: 5×9: 9 times 10 is 90, then cut in half for 45

Also the last digit goes 5, 0, 5, 0, … like this: 5, 10, 15, 20, …6

when you multiply 6 by an even number, they both end in the same digit.
Examples: 6×2=12, 6×4=24, 6×6=36, etc7×8

Think “5,6,7,8”: 56=7×8
8

Double, double, double!
Example: 8×6: double 6 is 12, double 12 is 24, double 24 is 489

is 10× the number minus the number.
Example: 9×6 = 10×6−6 = 60−6 = 54

the ones digit goes 9, 8, 7, 6, …: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, …
the tens digit goes  0, 1, 2, 3, …: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, …

subtract one to get the tens digit, and the tens and ones digit together make 9
Example: 9×5: tens digit is 4, 4 and 5 make 9, so 45
Example: 9×8: tens digit is 7, 7 and 2 make 9, so 72

your hands can help! Example: to multiply 9 by 8, hold your 8th finger down, and count “7” and “2”, the answer is 72
10

put a zero after it
Example: 10×2 = 2011

up to 11×9: just repeat the digit. Example: 11x4 = 44

for 11×10 to 11×18: write the sum of the digits between the digits
Example: 11×15 = 1(1+5)5 = 165Note: this works for any two-digit number, but when the sum of the digits is more than 9, we need to”carry the one”. Example: 11×75 = 7(7+5)5 = 7(12)5 = 825.12

is 10× plus 2×
Example: 12×4 = 40+8 = 4815

multiply by 10, then add half again
Example: 15×4 = 40+20 = 60
Example: 15×9 = 90+45 = 13520

multiply by 10, then double
Example: 20×4 = 40+40 = 80
Example: 20×7 = 70+70 = 140

Remembering Squares Can Help

This may not work for you, but it worked for me. I like remembering the squares (where you multiply a number by itself):1×1 =12×2 =43×3 =94×4 =165×5 =256×6 =367×7 =498×8 =649×9 =8110×10 =10011×11 =12112×12 =144

And this gives us one more trick. When the numbers we are multiplying are separated by 2 (example 7 and 5), then multiply the number in the middle by itself and subtract one. See this:

5×5 = 25 is just one bigger than 6×4 = 24

6×6 = 36 is just one bigger than 7×5 = 35

7×7 = 49 is just one bigger than 8×6 = 48

8×8 = 64 is just one bigger than 9×7 = 63

etc …

3 easy ways to teach your child times tables at home

26th January 2016 by Anna Michaelidou

There comes a time in every parents life where the inevitable times-tables learning will come up. For some children it is easier than for others but from my experience all children need a helping hand. Times tables are so important to a child’s learning; they will help them conquer Maths much easier if they know their times tables by heart. And of course times tables are something that will help in all aspects of both school life and adult life.

We at First Tutors understand the importance of teaching our children the times tables so we’ve come up with three easy ways we think will aid in getting your child to remember their times tables.

1. Start with the easiest and work up

No-one ever said that learning times tables was easy. It’s a matter of going over and over them until your child feels confident that they have learnt them. A common mistake people tend to make is working their way through the numbers in order. It is much easier and far more constructive to start with the easy numbers first. This will not only help build your child’s confidence as they are learning but will also make the transition from the lower numbers to the higher numbers far easier.

So by starting with the 1’s you are introducing your child to the times tables in a very easy way. 1 x 1 is 1. Explaining the drill will ensure your child sees that learning their times tables is not going to be as difficult as they may have heard.

The best order for learning the times tables, in my opinion, are as follows:

The 10’s

The 5’s.

The 11’s.

The 2’s.

The 4’s.

And then:

The 9’s.

The 6’s.

The 3’s.

The 12’s.

The 8’s.

The 7’s.

The ten times tables are by far the easiest as they require no understanding about how the tables work. To multiply any number by 10 you simply put a zero on the end of it.

1 x 10 = 10

4 x 10 = 40

9 x 10 = 90

And this works with any number.

16 x 10 = 160

37 x 10 = 370

98 x 10 = 980

And there you have the ten times tables.

The five times tables are pretty straight-forward too and shouldn’t take too long to learn. The easiest way to learn the five times tables is probably parrot-fashion and learning them in a rhythm:

Five – ten – fifteen – twenty – twenty-five – thirty – thirty-five – forty – forty-five – fifty etc.

Teaching your child to count up in fives can also be part of a game. Whenever we play hide-and-seek for example, the finder always has to count up in fives to one hundred!

When it comes to the rest of the numbers it’s about explaining how multiplication works. Whenever we multiply a number, the answer gets bigger by whatever the multiplier is. A great way of explaining this is by using real objects. Lego, coins, pebbles; anything that can show how when we have one number and multiply it by another the first number grows.

With the two’s it just about explaining that we are doubling that number. For example, the sum 2 x 6 also means double six. Two times six is twelve, two sixes and double six is twelve.

Another thing to remember is that multiplying gives the same answer forwards as it does backwards (1 x 2 is the same as 2 x 1) so as you move up the numbers you’re already half-way there.

Multiplication is just sequential adding. Take a jar of pennies and put three piles of four pennies. Explain that you have four pennies, three times. This means you have 4 + 4 + 4. It also means you have three times four (3 x 4). If you add up all the piles of pennies you will have twelve pennies in total. This kind of practice can be done as many times as needed for the child to comprehend the idea of multiplication. Change the quantities and objects until your child feels confident enough to move on.

2. Teach the tricks

The great thing with times tables is that there are many tricks that can help your child memorise them more easily. Let’s take a look at a couple of tricks:

2 times tables:

Double it! Two times a number simply means add the number twice. 6 x 2 is actually 6 + 6 and 8 x 2 is the same as 8 + 8.

4 times tables:

Double it then double it again! It is simply a matter of doubling the number then doubling the answer. For example, 4 x 5 is 5 + 5 = 10 and 10 + 10 = 20. 4 x 5 is 20!

9 times tables:

This is actually a very simple trick so I’ll try and explain it as best I can. Use the palms of your hands. Your left hand and anything left of the finger you will put down will be the tens. Your right hand and any finger after the finger that is put down will be the ones. Have a look at the picture to familiarise yourself with the palm.

So, if you put down your pinky finger (as in the diagram below; this would be position one and for the purpose of 1 x 9) on your left palm you are left with nine remaining fingers. 1 x 9 = 9. If you then put down only your ring finger on your left hand (position 2 for 2 x 9) you are left with one finger to the left of your ring finger and eight fingers after. Therefore 2 x 9 is 1 (on the ten’s side) and 8 (on the ones side), 18. Let’s do a couple more to make sure you’ve got the hang of it. 3 x 9 would be putting down the third finger (your middle finger) and you will see that you have two fingers to the left and seven fingers to the right. 2 and 7, twenty-seven. If you then put down only your index finger you will see that 4 x 9 equals thirty-six (three to your left, six to your right).

7 x 9 would simply be put down the index finger of your right hand as this would be the seventh finger and your answer will be revealed as sixty-three (six fingers to your left, three fingers to your right). This is a great trick and one that children love to practise.

11 times tables:

Learning the 11 times table is actually very easy up to the number nine. It is simply doubling the appearance of the number you wish to multiply. For example, 2 x 11 = 22, 3 x 11 = 33, 4 x 11 = 44 and so on. There is also a great trick for multiplying large numbers by eleven too.

What is 24 x 11?

Add the first and second numbers together; 2 + 4 = 6.

Then place the answer between the first and second numbers; 264.

The answer is 264!

When the sum of the first and second numbers is more than nine, you simply increase the left-hand number by the 1 to carry. For example, 11 x 99 would be:

Add the first and second digits; 9 + 9 = 18

Add 1 to 9 to get 10, then place the 8 between the 10 and the 9. 1089 is your answer!

There are plenty of cool tricks around to help your child master the times tables. These little tricks can go a long way and make the learning seem less tiresome for a child.

3. Drill Drill Drill

Whether it be on your way to school every morning, walking through the supermarket aisles or whilst you child is having a splash in the bath drill them continuously until they are completely comfortable with all their times tables and can answer a thrown out 9 x 9 in an instant.

Drilling should be done once the child is familiar with their tables or at least a set of numbers. Drilling should be started in order and once you feel they are getting there you can mix it all up. They may hesitate at the beginning but the more you drill the more the times tables will be embedded into their memories.

Drill sessions should be quite short, no more than about five to ten minutes, depending on the attention span of your child. But you should aim to have at least two to three drilling sessions per day to really maximise the effect and speed up the learning process.

To Conclude

Learning the times tables takes time, dedication and patience. Introducing them in a fun and interactive way is by far the best way to start. Encourage your child to learn their times tables by being as involved as possible and checking their progress often. Little tips and tricks can make a huge difference in instilling the times tables into their memories and help build their confidence. If you are struggling with helping your child learn their tables it may be worth seeking the help of a private tutor to get them started. Good luck!
