Packing for Camp

🐿️

Sam is packing supplies for a camping trip with friends. “Socks come in packs of 2, granola bars come in packs of 5, and markers come in boxes of 10,” Sam reads from the list.

“If 7 campers each need a pair of socks, that’s 7 × 2… I need a fast way to figure this out!”

Some multiplication facts have shortcuts built right in. Today we’ll learn the easiest facts first — the ×2, ×5, and ×10 families. Once you know these tricks, you’ll have almost half the times table memorized!

For the grown-up: These three fact families are the ideal starting point for times-table fluency. They connect to skip-counting patterns your child already knows, building confidence before tackling harder facts.
