Week 3 of 8
Week 3
3rd Grade → 4th Grade · Multiplication 10 12 and Reading comprehension
Math
Multiplication: 10 to 12
Facts with 10, 11, and 12. Late third grade.
The mistake to watch for. Applying the 11s trick (11 × 3 = 33) past 9, so 11 × 12 gets written as 1112.
How to help. Show where the pattern breaks. A rule that stops working is worth understanding, not just memorizing.
A worked example
Try 11 × 7. Multiply 10 × 7 = 70, then add one more 7: 70 + 7 = 77.
