Lesson 4 of 5
Times tables
Step 1
🍎🍎 | 🍎🍎 | 🍎🍎
Times means equal groups. 3 groups of 2 make 6. We write 3 × 2 = 6.
Step 2
3 × 2 = 2 × 3 = 6
The order does not matter. 3 × 2 and 2 × 3 are both 6.
Step 3
× 10 ➜ 0
Easy tricks: × 2 means double. × 10 means put a 0 at the end. × 5 answers end in 5 or 0.
