Multiplication Tables
Task 1
1. Tables from 1 to 12

2. The numbers in the shaded cells have a special name. What name is given to such numbers?
Square numbers

3. Complete the following:

a. 24 ÷ 4 = 6 because 4 × 6 = 24
b. 12 ÷ 3 = 4 because 3 ×  4 = 12
c. 18 ÷ 9 = 2 because 9 × 2 = 18
d. 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 42 because 7 × 6 = 42
e. 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36 because 9 × 4 = 36
f. 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 48 because 6 × 8 = 48
g. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 27 because 3 × 9 = 27
h. 81 ÷ 9 = 9 because 9 × 9 = 81
i. 96 ÷ 8 = 12 because 8 × 12 = 96
j. 108 ÷ 12 = 9 because 12 × 9 = 108
k. 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 84 because 12 × 7 = 84
l. 9 × 4 = 36 because 36 ÷ 9 = 4

4. Identify the following sets of multiples:

a. 3; 9; 12; 15; 21 Multiples of 3

b. 24; 32; 40; 48 Multiples of 2, 4 or 8
c. 144; 132; 120; 108 Multiples of 3, 4, 6 or 12
d. 15; 25;10; 60; 30; 35 Multiples of 5
e. 36; 45; 81; 90; 99 Multiples of 3 or 9
