Using The Ten Times Table

The video tutorial explores how the 10 times table can simplify learning other times tables like the 8 and 9 times tables. By using a strategy of subtracting the difference between 10 and the target number, students can calculate more complex multiplications. The tutorial includes practical examples and emphasizes building number sense over memorization.

Why is the 10 times table considered one of the easiest to remember?

• Because it involves only single-digit numbers.

• Because it is the first times table taught in schools.

• Because it is used in everyday life.

• Because all the answers end in 0.

How can you adjust the 10 times table to find the result of 2 times 8?

• Add 2 counters to each row.

• Multiply the result by 2.

• Divide the result by 2.

• Subtract 2 counters from each row.

What is the first step in using the 10 times table to solve 4 times 9?

• Multiply 4 by 9 directly.

• Add 1 counter to each row.

• Multiply 4 by 10.

• Subtract 1 counter from each row.

What is the difference between the 10 times table and the 9 times table?

• 9 is 1 more than 10.

• 9 is 2 less than 10.

• 9 is 1 less than 10.

• 9 is 2 more than 10.

In the practical example, how many books does Maria have in total?

• 36

• 42

• 48

• 54

What is the final step in the strategy to find 8 times 4 using the 10 times table?

• Add the difference to the initial result.

• Multiply the difference by 10.

• Subtract the difference from the initial result.

• Divide the initial result by the difference.

What is the benefit of using strategies like the one taught in the video?

• It reduces the need for calculators.

• It helps in memorizing times tables.

• It builds number sense and understanding.

• It makes calculations faster.
