Fascinating Fact:

A shop has 6 packs of batteries, and a delivery brings 12 times as many packs. The delivery brings 72 packs.

In 11 Plus Times Tables, the 12 times table is useful because it connects to known facts like the 3, 4, and 6 times tables. Strong 12 facts make mental maths faster, especially in multi-step problems.

  • Product: The answer to a multiplication, for example 12 × 6 has a product of 72.
  • Inverse operation: An operation that undoes another one, such as division undoing multiplication.
  • Partitioning: Splitting a number into parts to make calculation easier, such as 12 = 10 + 2.
What is the 12 times table?

The 12 times table is the set of multiplication facts for multiplying by 12, such as 12 × 5 = 60 and 12 × 6 = 72.

What is an easy way to work out 12 times a number?

A common method is to do 10 times the number, then add 2 times the number. For example, 12 × 7 = (10 × 7) + (2 × 7) = 70 + 14 = 84.

How do you use the 12 times table for division questions?

Use the matching multiplication fact. If you know 12 × 6 = 72, then you also know 72 ÷ 12 = 6 and 72 ÷ 6 = 12.

The higher the numbers go, the harder they are to work out in your head. If you learn them over and over again, you will always know the answer. Ask any adult what 12 x 12 is and they should reply immediately. That's not because they've worked it out, but because they were taught the times tables at school too!
