Agree with it or not but multiplication tables are one of the toughest things to remember in maths. Recollect your school memories, you would have gone sweating if at all the teacher asked you seven eights are....? That to all of a sudden. Huf! I'm sweating now too.
But never mind here in this blog, there are some cool techniques wherein learning tables would never be the same again. Just be with me.
For most of us, multiplication tables from 1 to 10 or rather 11 are somewhat easy to write and remember. But, the real problem starts from numbers from 12 and beyond. So, now we'll first focus to on the writing part of the tables i.e. how to pen down multiplication tables with ease and thereafter the learning aspect of it.
Alber Einstein once quoted,"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas." Yes, we'll try and prove the same.
Right, so we'll straight away start with the multiplication table of 12:
Method: Just observe the multiplication table for 12 for few seconds. Ok, now the easiest thing to remember is 12x1 & 12x10. No prize for guessing it right. Once you know it, pen it down as fast as you can. Now it is the time to fill everything between it.
One of the orthodox and full proof method is to add 12 to the previous number. That's what we were thought in our school days. But, I'm sure you are not on this blog to learn that. So, the smarter way of doing it to split the RHS (right-hand side) of the equation into two columns: Tens and Units. Now, start filling the units column first. Write down all the even numbers from 0-9 starting from 4 (assuming you have already written 12x1 and 12x10). It will turn out to be 4,6,8. Now you are at 12x5, so start from 0 and continue to write all the even numbers from there on i.e. 2,4,6,8. And you are done filling the units place.
Now, let us move on to tens place. It is fairly simple here. Start filling numbers from 2-10 (assuming you have already written 12x1 and 12x10) in the ascending skipping 5 where ever it is bound to come. And it's done!
Wasn't it fairly simple and easy!
Let's do it for 13 now:
Method: Once again write down 13x1 & 13x10 immediately. Now, the technique of splitting the RHS into Tens and Units column remains more or less the same. After doing so, quietly murmur the table of 3 in your mind and write down the numbers which come in the units place in the table of 3 into the units place of the table of 13 i.e 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7.
Here comes 14:
Method: Write down 14x1 & 14x10. Split RHS into tens and units column. In units column, applying the same concept that of the table of 13, write down the number in the unit digit in the table of 4 into the units column for the table of 14 i.e. 8, 2, 6, 0, 4, 8, 2, 6. The numbers in the tens place follow pairing sequence of 1, 2; 4, 5; 7, 8 and 9; 11, 12. from 1 to 9 respectively.
Hope you are in tune with the process. Now it's the time for one of the simplest table in the slot from 12-19. Its 15 time:
Method: Write down 15x1 and 15x10 firstly. In the units column start filling 5 and 0 alternatively. The tens place will once again come in pairs: 3, 4; 6, 7; 9,10; 12, 13 from 12x2 to 12x9 respectively.
Woah! you are done now at least till 15 in more of an uncommon manner. But it does not matter until you are getting the multiplication right at the end of it. You can obviously cross check the same with our conventional way of multiplication.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for further tips and tricks. Till try for yourself the above methods and try to predict for other multiplications as well.
Thank you for reading. Stay happy, Stay blessed.

For tens places, the sequence from 1-10 goes like 1, 2, 3 skip 4; 5, 6, 7 skip 8; 9, 10, 11 skip 12.
And you are done with the multiplication of 13!
