About this worksheet
Place value: multiplying by 10 shifts every digit one place to the left, which looks like "adding a zero" for whole numbers. Every answer ends in 0 and starts with the number being multiplied. The facts that need the most repetition: Almost none — the 10s are a confidence table and a stepping stone to the 5s and 9s.
Typical use: grade 2, one sheet a day for a week, then a mixed 0–12 sheet to check the 10s hold up among the other tables. Narrow the range to 1–10 for a shorter table, or switch to the horizontal layout for a fact-test format.
Standards
