Ten groups and two more

The 12 times table

Twelve turns up in dozens, months and hours, so the 12s are useful well beyond the classroom. Every answer is even.

Practice the 12s

The 12 times table

  1. 12 × 112
  2. 12 × 224
  3. 12 × 336
  4. 12 × 448
  5. 12 × 560

Learning the 12s

The tricky ones

12 × 7 = 84, 12 × 8 = 96 and 12 × 9 = 108 are hardest, because the answers pass 100 or sit just below it.

Use what you know

Split 12 into 10 and 2: 12 × 7 is 70 + 14 = 84. Or double the 6s: 12 × 8 is double 6 × 8 = double 48 = 96.

Where you meet the 12s

  • Eggs come by the dozen: 5 dozen are 60 eggs.
  • Months in a year: 3 years are 36 months.
  • Hours on a clock face: 2 trips around are 24 hours.

Patterns and tricks

  • 12 × is 10 × plus 2 ×: 12 × 4 = 40 + 8.
  • Every answer is even.

Divide by 12

Every multiplication fact has a division fact in its family: if 12 × 4 = 48, then 48 ÷ 12 = 4.

  1. 12 ÷ 121
  2. 24 ÷ 122
  3. 36 ÷ 123
  4. 48 ÷ 124
  5. 60 ÷ 125
  6. 72 ÷ 126
  7. 84 ÷ 127
  8. 96 ÷ 128
  9. 108 ÷ 129
  10. 120 ÷ 1210
  11. 132 ÷ 1211
  12. 144 ÷ 1212
