The 1 times table

  • 1 × 1 =1
  • 1 × 2 =2
  • 1 × 3 =3
  • 1 × 4 =4
  • 1 × 5 =5
  • 1 × 6 =6
  • 1 × 7 =7
  • 1 × 8 =8
  • 1 × 9 =9
  • 1 × 10 =10
  • 1 × 11 =11
  • 1 × 12 =12

Trick

Any number times 1 stays the same: 1 × 8 = 8 and 8 × 1 = 8.

Count in 1s: every number is in the 1 times table.

Where do you see 1s?

An elephant has 1 trunk. So 3 of them make 3 × 1 = 3.

Count in 1s: the multiples of 1

The numbers you say when you count in 1s are the multiples of 1. They are the answers in the 1 times table, and they keep going after 1 × 12. A number is a multiple of 1 if it can be shared into groups of 1 with nothing left over.
