The pattern behind the list
Look at the last digit of each answer. From 11 × 1 to 11 × 10 it goes like this, and then the same pattern repeats every ten facts all the way up to 11 × 40:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 0
Working out big facts
You do not need to learn all 40 facts by heart. Use the method for the 11 times table instead: Eleven lots is ten lots plus one more lot. Up to 11 × 9 you simply write the digit twice.
Work out 10 × 40 = 400, then add one more 40: 400 + 40 = 440.
11 × 40 = 400 + 40 = 440
