What's on this sheet

Count it in quarters. Every four twenty-fives is 100, so 25 × 8 is two hundreds, 200, and 25 × 12 is three, 300. For the numbers in between, take the nearest multiple of four and add or subtract a quarter: 25 × 7 is 25 × 8 = 200 take away 25, which is 175.

Why this sheet works

The other way is to multiply by 100 and divide by 4. 25 × 18 becomes 1800 ÷ 4 = 450. That route is worth showing a child once they are comfortable, because it is the first taste of a shortcut that works by changing the problem rather than by memorizing its answer.

How this one works

1 × 25

1×25
1×25=25
1 × 5=5
1 × 20=20
5+20=25
1×25=25
  1. 1 × 25 means one group of 25 — a single row.
  2. One 25, and nothing else to add to it — so 1 × 25 is just 25.
  3. If 1 × 25 will not come, split the 25 at five: 1 × 5 = 5, and 1 × 20 = 20. Together that is 5 + 20 = 25.
  4. So 1 × 25 = 25.
