Times Tables Mug 1 to 12

Inspire someone's Maths Side with this cool Times Tables mug. Use it as an aid to: * Learn and memorize times tables. * Understand that the order in which numbers are multiplied doesn't matter. * Recognize certain patterns. * Understand Square Numbers. * TUTORIAL ON USING THIS MATHS AID: * MULTIPLICATION: Multiplying is the same as adding repeatedly. So, 5 x 3 is the same as 5 + 5 + 5, which is 15. And, 4 x 6 is the same as 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4, which is 24. * ORDER OF NUMBERS IN MULTIPLICATION: When multiplying numbers, the order of the numbers is not important – the answer will be the same anyway. Eg, 3 x 4 = 12 and 4 x 3 = 12. Eg, 5 x 7 = 35 and 7 x 5 = 35. So, half of the Times Tables is a repetition of the other half. * PATTERNS TO NOTE ON 1 to 12 TIMES TABLES: * Any number x 0 gives 0. Eg, 9 x 0 = 0. * Any number x 1 always gives that number. Eg, 12 x 1 = 12. * Any number x 10 always gives that number with a 0 at the end. Eg, 12 x 10 = 120. * Any number x 5 always gives an answer that ends with a 0 or 5. Eg, 6 x 5 = 30, 7 x 5 = 35. * SQUARE NUMBERS: This is any number that results from multiplying a number by itself. Eg, 9 is a Square number because it is the result of 3 x 3. 25 is also a Square number because it is the result of 5 x 5. 0 is also a square number because 0 x 0 = 0.
