Multiplication Table of 12

Repeated addition by 12’s means the multiplication table of 12.

(i) When 4 heaps of 12 oranges each.

By repeated addition we can show 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48

Then, twelve 4 times or 4 twelve’s

4 × 12 = 48

Therefore, there are 48 oranges.

(ii) When 9 boxes each having 12 color-pens.

By repeated addition we can show 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 108

Then, twelve 9 times or 9 twelve’s

9 × 12 = 108

Therefore, there are 108 color-pens.

We will learn how to use the number line for counting the multiplication table of 12.

(i) Start at 0. Hop 12, two times. Stop at 24.

2 twelve’s are 24 2 × 12 = 24

(ii) Start at 0. Hop 12, six times.

Stop at ____. Thus, it will be 72

6 twelve’s are 72 6 × 12 = 72

(iii) Start at 0. Hop 12, eight times.

Stop at ____. Thus, it will be 96

8 twelve’s are 96 8 × 12 = 96
