Put a zero on the end
10 × 6 = 60, 10 × 12 = 120. It works for every whole number, however big. Be careful with decimals though — 10 × 0.5 is 5, not 0.50.
10 times table
The 10 times table is the one children learn almost by accident, because our whole number system is built on tens. Multiply any whole number by 10 and it shifts one place to the left, picking up a zero on the end.
The 10 times table
- 10 1 10
- 10 2 20
- 10 3 30
- 10 4 40
- 10 5 50

Multiplying a whole number by 10 shifts every digit one place left, so a zero appears on the end: 10 × 7 = 70.

Halve the answer and you have the 5 times table. Take one lot away and you have the 9 times table. Learning 10 gets you a long way into both.
Money makes it real
Ten 10p coins make £1. Counting coins is the fastest way to make this table feel obvious rather than memorised.

Questions about the 10 times table
What is the 10 times table?
10 × 1 = 10, 10 × 2 = 20, 10 × 3 = 30, 10 × 4 = 40, 10 × 5 = 50, 10 × 6 = 60, 10 × 7 = 70, 10 × 8 = 80, 10 × 9 = 90, 10 × 10 = 100, 10 × 11 = 110, 10 × 12 = 120.
Is it right to say "just add a zero"?
It works for whole numbers, but it breaks with decimals — 10 × 2.5 is 25, not 2.50. The safer way to say it is that every digit shifts one place to the left.
Which is the easiest times table?
The 10 times table, closely followed by 1, 2 and 5. Most schools teach 10 within the first few weeks of multiplication because it makes the 5s and 9s much easier afterwards.
