Multiplication x12

You may not have realised it but each time you've practiced sets of multiplication tables, you've also been practicing your $$12 times tables. All the multiplication tables you've learnt up until now have probably ended with "times $$12," e.g. $$3×12, $$5×12 and so on and these are your $$12 times tables.

Even better, if you know your $$10 times tables and you know your $$2 times tables, then it won't be too hard to learn your $$12 times tables! We know that $$10+2=12 and that multiplication is looking at equal sized groups.

So $$10 groups plus $$2 groups equals $$12 groups!

Let's look at a couple of ways we can solve questions with $$12 times tables. 

Strategy 1: Count up by 12s

Just like all other times tables, because $$12 times tables are looking at groups of $$12, we can count up by twelves, e.g. $$12,24,36 and so on.

Strategy 2: Use a Split Strategy
