A:
We expect students to recall basic multiplication facts from memory by the end of third grade. Strategies
help students quickly compute the answers, and some strategies also make it possible for them to calculate
mentally with larger numbers. We have categorized the multiplication facts from 0 0 to 10 10 and assigned
each category a name that suggests the strategy used to solve them. This table shows all of those categories.
CATEGORIES BASED ON THE ZERO AND IDENTITY PROPERTIES OF MULTIPLICATION
Zero facts ( 0)
n0=0
The product of any number and 0 is 0.
70 = 0
Ones facts ( 1)
n1=n
The product of any number and 1 is that number.
61 = 6
04 = 0
12 = 2
72 = 14
23 = 6
34 = (24)+4 = 12
37 = (27)+7 = 21
Double-Doubles facts ( 4)
4 n = (2 2) n = 2 (2 n)
To multiply any number by 4, double it, and then double the result.
47 = 2(27) = 214 = 28
Double-Double-Doubles facts ( 8)
8 n = 2 2 2 n = ((2 n) 2) 2
To multiply any number by 8, double it, double the result, and then
double that result one last time.
85 = ((25)2)2 =
((102)2) = 202 = 40
46 = 2(26) = 212 = 24
89 = ((29)2)x 2 =
(182)2 = 362 = 72
105 = 50
810 = 80
Half-Tens facts ( 5)
5 n = 10 1/2 n = (10 n) 1/2 = (10 n) 2 or
5 n = 10 1/2 n = 10 (n 1/2) = 10 (n 2)
To multiply any number by 5, multiply the number by 10 and then divide the
result in half. Or, divide the number in half and then multiply by 10.
57 = (107)2 = 702 = 35
or 57 = 10(72) = 103.5 = 35
67 = ((107)2)+7 =
(702)+7 = 35+7 = 42
58 = (108)2 = 802 = 40
or 58 = 10(82) = 104 = 40
69 = ((109)2)+9 =
(902)+9 = 45+9 = 54
97 = 1077 = 707 = 63
99 = 1099 = 909 = 81
