🏪 Market Story

Bola counts ₦10 notes at her mother's shop. 1 note = ₦10. 2 notes = ₦20. 3 notes = ₦30. She notices: just add a zero! 7 notes of ₦10 = ₦70. That's the 10 times table.

📝 Let's Learn

The 10 times table:

  • 1 × 10 = 10
  • 2 × 10 = 20
  • 3 × 10 = 30
  • 4 × 10 = 40
  • 5 × 10 = 50
  • 6 × 10 = 60
  • 7 × 10 = 70
  • 8 × 10 = 80
  • 9 × 10 = 90
  • 10 × 10 = 100

The rule: just add a 0 to the number! 7 × 10 = 70 (just add 0 to 7).

Example 1: 4 × 10 = 40.

Example 2: 12 × 10 = 120 (works for bigger numbers too!).

Example 3: Emeka has 8 notes of ₦10: 8 × ₦10 = ₦80.
