The 12 times table

  • 12 × 1 =12
  • 12 × 2 =24
  • 12 × 3 =36
  • 12 × 4 =48
  • 12 × 5 =60
  • 12 × 6 =72
  • 12 × 7 =84
  • 12 × 8 =96
  • 12 × 9 =108
  • 12 × 10 =120
  • 12 × 11 =132
  • 12 × 12 =144

Trick

Use the 10s and 2s: 12 × 6 is 10 × 6 (60) plus 2 × 6 (12), so 72.

12 is a dozen, so 12 × 3 is three dozen: 36.

Where do you see 12s?

An egg carton holds 12 eggs. So 3 of them make 3 × 12 = 36.

Count in 12s: the multiples of 12

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