This week my ah-ha moment was when I discovered a hidden gem with multiplying with the number 11. Ms. Burton showed us some examples and I right away noticed a pattern. It was that in order to figure out a times table with the number 11 without a calculator you would need to do as shown,

ex:

11 X 12 = 132

1st Number of the answer is this first digit of the number you are multiplying by eleven. Which in this case is “1”.

2nd Number is the number you are multiplying by 11, you addition the numbers together, “12= 1+2=3”

3rd Number of the answer is the second digit of the number you are multiplying by eleven. Which in this case is “2”
