Step-by-step Maths Level 5: The 12 times table

Method. Split 12 into 10 and 2, then add the two results.

1. Split 12 into 10 and 2. Multiply each part by the number.
   12 × 10 = 10 × 10 + 2 × 10
2. Work out each part. Both parts are facts we know.
   10 × 10 = 100, and 2 × 10 = 20
3. Add the two parts. The total is the answer.
   100 + 20 = 120
4. Write the answer. This is the answer to 12 times the number.
