MultiplicationFocus ×10
Multiplication by 10 worksheets
The ten times table is the easiest to answer and the most useful to understand. These free printable worksheets cover 10 × 1 through 10 × 10, and are worth doing even when a child can already answer every one of them.
Kid stuck on one? You don’t just get the sheet.

The answer key prints on a separate page.
What's on this sheet
"Add a zero" gets the right answer and teaches the wrong idea. What actually happens is that every digit moves one place to the left: the 7 in 7 × 10 = 70 is no longer worth seven ones, it is worth seven tens, and the zero is what holds the empty ones column. Children taught the shortcut without the reason are the ones who later write 7.5 × 10 = 7.50.
Why this sheet works
Because the answers come so easily, this table is the best place to practice the habits rather than the facts — writing neatly, working down the page without skipping, and checking the answer key independently. The arithmetic is free, so the attention can go somewhere else.
How this one works
One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.
8 × 10
- 8 × 10 means 8 groups with 10 in each one — 8 rows of 10. The answer counts everything in all of them, not one row.
- Added up, that is 10 written 8 times — nobody wants to do that. Turn it round: 10 × 8 is the same amount, and it is only 10 lots of 8 to add instead.
- If 8 × 10 will not come, split the 10 at five: 8 × 5 = 40, and 8 × 5 = 40. Together that is 40 + 40 = 80.
- So 8 × 10 = 80.
