3. Multiply by 2
Double a number Skip counting by 2’s MEMORIZE THESE!! Examples: 2 X 4 = = 4 5 x 2 = = 10 2 x 8 = = 16

4. Multiply by 10
When multiplying a number by 10, write the number down and annex a zero to right of the one’s place Examples: 7 x 10 = x 8 = x 10 = x 10 = 140

5. Multiply by 11
For the number you are multiplying by 11 … the product is that number written as a double digit Examples: 4 x 11 = x 3 = x 7 = 77 6 x 11 = 66 Exception: 11 x10 = x 12 = 132

6. MULTIPLY BY 5
Remember: Any number times 5, ends in a 5 or 0 Use the analog clock,’s minute hand. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes 10 minutes past the hour, the minute hand is on the 2, so 5 x 2 = minutes past the hour, the minute hand is on the 5, so 5 x 5 = minutes past the hour, the minute hand is on the 9, so 5 x 9 = minutes past the hour, the minute hand is on the 12, so 12 x 5 = 60

7. Multiplying by 9
The factor that you are multiplying by, drop by 1 9 x 3 = 2_ 9 x 5 = 4_ The two digits of the product should add up to 9 9 x 3 = 2_; since 2+7=9, the product is 27 => 9x3=27 9 x 5 = 4_; since 4+5=9, the product is 45 => 9x5=45
Memorize the tricks, the rest is easy

8. Multiply by 12
We all know that 12 = Multiply the factor that you are multiplying by 12 by 10 then multiply it by 2 then add them together 12 x 4 => 10 x 4 = 40 2 x 4 = 8; = x 4 = 48 This is just using the Distributive property of multiplication and addition

9. Multiply by 4’s
Double the 2’s If I don’t know x 4, go to x 2 and then double it Ex: 4 x 8 = go to 2 x 8 = (2 x 8) double it = 16 double it 4 x 8 = 32

10. Multiply by 8
Double the 4’s If I don’t know x 8, go to x 4 and then double it (x 2) 8 x 6 = go to 4 x 6 double it = 24 double it 8 x 6 = 48

11. Multiply by 3
MEMORIZE THEM!!!

12. MULTIPLY BY 6
Double the 3’s If I don’t know x 6, go to x 3 and then double it (x 2) 8 x 6 = go to 4 x 6 double it = 24 double it 8 x 6 = 48 Examples: 3 x 6 = (3 x3) x 2 = 9 x 2 = 18

13. MULTIPLY BY 7
MEMORIZE THEM!!!
