About this worksheet
10 times the number plus 2 times the number: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14. Children who know their 10s and 2s can derive every fact. Every answer is even; the units digits run 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and repeat. The facts most children find hardest: 12 × 6 = 72, 12 × 7 = 84 and 12 × 8 = 96, where the derived sum takes a moment.
The 12 times table is taught in Year 4. Once it is secure, switch the question type to "12 × __ = 72" for the related division facts, or tick the other tables of the year group for a mixed sheet. Fifty and 100-question versions are a click away.
