Multiplication Math Games-Patterns in Multiplication

In multiplication math games there are many patterns that will help your child learn his/her multiplication math facts. In multiplication math games, patterns are added in because there are many patterns in multiplication, so the more your child sees these patterns, the more they will remember their math facts. Multiplication math games are here for your child so that they can learn and memorize their facts while bring engaged and having tons of fun! Nobody likes boring multiplication math homework at night because if your child is having difficulty with their math facts, than their homework will take a very long time. Student’s will lose interest in multiplication as soon as it is introduced, unless there is something fun that comes along with it. All kids want to have fun in school, and for some of them that is the only way they will learn. Multiplication math games gives your students/child the opportunity to do just that. These multiplication math games are mostly for third, fourth, and fifth graders, but if you think that your child is ready for multiplication earlier than that, then why not give it a try. Patterns take a big role in learning multiplication math facts and multiplication math tables. In the multiplication math games that we are offering you we have put in some multiplication patterns, so that your child will pick them up and have a quick and great experience with learning multiplication. So here are some patterns that will appear in some multiplication math games.

Seeing the Patterns

1. Use a multiplication grid or let your students/children create one.
2. Look carefully at all of the patterns, especially when the numbers correspond with the facts e.g., 7X8 and 8X7 = 56
3. Let students/children practice the ‘fast adding’ which is what multiplication is.
4. When students can count by 3s, 4s, 5s 6s, etc. they will automatically know their multiplication tables.

These are some patterns which can help you remember your multiplication facts, that you might just find in multiplication math games.

2× is just doubling the number. The same as adding the number to itself.  2×2=4, 2×3=6, 2×4=8, etc.

So the pattern is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

(And once you remember those, you also know 3×2, 4×2, 5×2, etc., right?)

5× has a pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. It always end in either a 0 or a 5.

10× is maybe the easiest of them all,  just put a zero after it!  10×2=20, 10×3=30, 10×4=40, etc.

9× has a pattern, too: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90

Now, notice how the “units” place goes down: 9,8,7,6, …? And at the same time, the “tens” place goes up: 1,2,3,…?

You can use this pattern to prompt your memory this way: the tens place will be 1 less than what you are multiplying by!

Example: 9×7 … go 1 less than 7, so the tens place is 6, and then remember 63
