This is where we make real headway with learning the 2x, 5x and 10x tables. Make sure they are recited as a whole and not just saying the answers (which is just counting up).

A great way to show how multiplication works is by using arrays. 3 rows of 4 means 3 lots of 4. This means 4 x 3 or 3 x 4.

Doubling is coming up again. This time it's all multiples of 5. (Just remember that double 5 is 10.)
