Examples you can see
Here are some ways you can practice the 10 times table in different formats:Missing answer worksheets
These are like puzzles where some answers are missing:
| 10 x 1 = ? | 10 x 2 = ? | 10 x 3 = ? | 10 x 4 = ? | 10 x 5 = ? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
Matching pairs
You connect multiplication problems with their answers:
| Problems | Answers |
|---|---|
| 10 x 3 | 30 |
| 10 x 7 | 70 |
| 10 x 9 | 90 |
| 10 x 1 | 10 |
Arrays
Arrays are groups of objects arranged in rows and columns:
For 10 x 4, you can imagine:
- 4 rows of 10 apples
- 10 rows of 4 oranges
- 4 groups of 10 sweets
Puzzles
Some puzzles ask you to find the missing number:
What number multiplied by 10 gives you 80?
Answer: 8 because 8 x 10 = 80
Mixed review
These mix up all the problems to help you remember them:
- 10 x 6 = ?
- 10 x 2 = ?
- 10 x 9 = ?
- 10 x 1 = ?

Try it as a mini adventure
Imagine you are a shopkeeper who needs to count money quickly. You have 10 bags, and each bag has 10 coins inside. How many coins do you have altogether?
Let's solve this together:
- 1st time: 1 bag has 10 coins
- 2nd time: 2 bags have 20 coins
- 3rd time: 3 bags have 30 coins
- 4th time: 4 bags have 40 coins
- 5th time: 5 bags have 50 coins
- 6th time: 6 bags have 60 coins
- 7th time: 7 bags have 70 coins
- 8th time: 8 bags have 80 coins
- 9th time: 9 bags have 90 coins
- 10th time: 10 bags have 100 coins
You can also make a chart to show your counting:
| Bags | Coins |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 30 |
| 4 | 40 |
| 5 | 50 |
| 6 | 60 |
| 7 | 70 |
| 8 | 80 |
| 9 | 90 |
| 10 | 100 |
Common mistakes
- Mistake: Forgetting to add a zero when multiplying by 10
Why it happens: Kids think it's just the number times 10, not 10 times the number
Fix: Remember that 10 x 4 means 10 groups of 4, so you get 40 - Mistake: Confusing 10 x 5 = 50 with 10 x 5 = 5
Why it happens: Kids mix up the answer with the number being multiplied
Fix: Count the groups carefully: 10 groups of 5 = 50 - Mistake: Not checking answers
Why it happens: Kids rush through problems without thinking
Fix: Always double-check your answers using a different method
