Let’s learn how to form mul plica on tables using the grid pa ern.

Step 1: Skip count in 1s and fi ll the second column.

Step 2: Skip count in 2s and fi ll the third column.

Step 3: Skip count in 3s and fi ll the fourth column.

Step 4: Skip count in 4s and fi ll the fi h column.

Step 5: Skip count in 5s and fi ll the sixth column.

We can construct the tables of 1 to 5 horizontally and ver cally in the given grid

in this way. Similarly, we can form table of any number through grid pa erns.

Constructing Multiplication Tables by Adding 1 to 10

Let’s learn to write mul plica on table of 5 by a simple method of adding

1 to 10.

Step 1: Write the table of 4.

Step 2: Now add 1 to 10 stepwise in the table of 4 to get the table of 5.

Table of 4 Table of 5

4 + 1 5

8 + 2 10

12 + 3 15

16 + 4 20

20 + 5 25

24 + 6 30

28 + 7 35

32 + 8 40

36 + 9 45

40 + 10 50

Using this method, we can write the mul plica on table of any number if we

know the table of the previous number.
