Worksheet Description

This worksheet features an inventive method for practicing multiplication with the number ten, using circular diagrams divided into segments that resemble pie charts. The number ten is at the center of each diagram, surrounded by a ring of teen numbers, with blank outer segments where students are intended to write the products of the multiplication. The upper diagram is partially completed as an example, providing a visual aid to guide the student on how to perform the task. The lower diagram awaits the student’s calculations and responses, giving them the opportunity to apply their multiplication skills independently.

The worksheet aims to teach students to multiply teen numbers by ten, extending their understanding of the ten times table beyond the basic single-digit range. It demonstrates that the rule of multiplication by ten applies consistently, even with larger numbers. The task also helps students to visually associate the process of multiplication with a circular, interconnected model, which may help in memorizing the ten times table. This method reinforces the concept that multiplying any number by ten will result in a number ending in zero, which is a crucial mathematical pattern for students to recognize.
