Yeah! One for 9's is to use your fingers in a pattern way. Let me try to show you what I mean. Say it is 9X5. Hold both hands out in front of you palms facing away. Then start with your left hand's pinkie and count five over. That would be your left hand thumb. Put it down. then you can see that you have 4 fingers left on your left hand and 5 fingers left on your right hand. Your answer is 45.

Another for 10's is to take your number and add a zero to it. 10 X 3 = 30. ect.

OpenStudy (selrachcw95):

Well, 11's is easy because it's just that number twice. like 11 X 2 = 22 etc.

OpenStudy (selrachcw95):

when u get to 10,11,12 what do you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can use the 10's trick for that one (11X10 = 110). 11+ 0. And for 11 X 11 it's the same, the number twice, except you add a 2 in the middle of it. I don't know a trick for that one, I just remember it because it's a sandwich. 1's on the outside and the two ones = 2 which is on the inside of the sandwich. And 11 X12 is you take the first number (1) add the second numbers (2+1 = 3) and take the 2 from the 12. so 11 X 12 = 132. I know that that one is another tip more than trick, but that's all I can think of.

OpenStudy (dan815):

lol

OpenStudy (dan815):
