Cover the multiplication table, starting with the “easy” numbers

Display a chart or overhead slide of the 10 x 10 multiplication table. If you wish, supplement this with student copies of the multiplication chart.

Easy multiplication facts.

Teach students how to use the chart and find products by following and matching the position of numbers using the vertical and horizontal axes.

Now, talk about some of the patterns you can find in the chart. Offer students clues or hints. For example, note how every multiple of ten ends in zero, and every multiple of five ends in zero or five.

For instance, the ones and tens are easy. Now that you have discussed the "easy" multiplication facts -- eliminate them from the chart. the twos and fives are also easy. Continue crossing the numbers out,
