Fascinating Fact:

A giraffe’s heart (11 kg) weighs about ten times more than a human heart (1.1 kg).

In KS3 Maths Times Tables, the 10 times table is all about place value. Think 10n = n × 10: whole-number answers end with a zero, and multiplying by 10 shifts digits one place left. Dividing by 10 shifts them right, including with decimals.

  • Multiple: A result in a times table; for 10 it’s 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, …
  • Factor: A whole number that divides another exactly; 10 is a factor of 70 because 70 ÷ 10 = 7.
  • Place-value shift: Multiplying by 10 moves digits one place left; dividing by 10 moves them one place right.
