11 Multiplication Table

1. What Is the 11 Multiplication Table?

The 11 multiplication table (or 11 times table) is a fundamental math tool that lists the products of multiplying the number 11 by whole numbers from 1 to 12 (and beyond). It is typically taught in 2nd or 3rd grade, after students have mastered simpler tables like the 1s, 2s, 5s, 9s, and 10s. What makes the 11 times table uniquely easy to learn is its consistent, memorable patterns—no random memorization required for most facts. The core sequence of the 11 multiplication table (1–12) is:11 × 1 = 11, 11 × 2 = 22, 11 × 3 = 33, 11 × 4 = 44, 11 × 5 = 55, 11 × 6 = 66, 11 × 7 = 77, 11 × 8 = 88, 11 × 9 = 99, 11 × 10 = 110, 11 × 11 = 121, 11 × 12 = 132

A defining feature of the 11 multiplication table is its “repeat digit” pattern for single-digit multipliers (1–9) and a “split-and-add” pattern for two-digit multipliers (10+). These patterns not only simplify learning but also build critical number sense skills that support advanced math concepts like division, fractions, and algebra.

Key Characteristics of the 11 Multiplication Table

  • Repeat digit pattern (1–9): When multiplying 11 by any single-digit number (1–9), the product is just that digit repeated twice (e.g., 11×5=55, 11×8=88).
  • Split-and-add pattern (two-digit multipliers): For two-digit numbers (10+), split the multiplier into its tens and ones digits, place the sum of the two digits between them, and that’s the product (e.g., 11×13: 1 | 1+3 | 3 = 143; 11×19: 1 | 1+9 | 9 = 209, with a carryover for sums ≥10).
  • Commutative property compatibility: 11 × n = n × 11 (e.g., 11×6=66 is the same as 6×11=66).
  • Link to addition: Multiplying by 11 is equivalent to adding the number to itself 11 times, or adding 10 times the number plus the number (e.g., 11×7 = (10×7) + 7 = 77).
  • Alternating product lengths: Products are two-digit numbers for 11×1–11×9 and three-digit numbers for 11×10–11×99, making it easy to spot calculation errors.

3. Easy Tricks to Master the 11 Multiplication Table

The 11 multiplication table is one of the most pattern-driven tables, making it incredibly easy to master with these foolproof tricks. These shortcuts leverage the table’s unique patterns to eliminate memorization and build confidence:

Trick 1: The Repeat Digit Trick (For 11×1 to 11×9)

This is the simplest trick for single-digit multipliers. When multiplying 11 by any number from 1 to 9, the answer is just that number written twice:

  • Example: 11×4 = 44 (write 4 twice)
  • Example: 11×9 = 99 (write 9 twice)This trick works instantly and requires no calculation—perfect for beginners building confidence.

Trick 2: The Split-and-Add Trick (For 11×10 and Above)

For two-digit multipliers, use this simple 3-step trick: Split the multiplier into its tens and ones digits, add the two digits together, and place the sum between the split digits. If the sum is 10 or more, carry over the 1 to the tens place:

  • Example 1 (sum less than 10): 11×12 → Split 12 into 1 and 2 → 1 + 2 = 3 → Place 3 between 1 and 2 → 132
  • Example 2 (sum 10 or more): 11×19 → Split 19 into 1 and 9 → 1 + 9 = 10 → Place 0 between 1 and 9, carry over 1 to the tens place (1+1=2) → 209This trick works for any two-digit (or larger) number, making it a lifelong math skill.

Trick 3: The 10-Plus-1 Trick (Reinforce Addition Connection)

If you ever forget the patterns, remember that multiplying by 11 is the same as multiplying by 10 and adding the original number. This reinforces the connection between multiplication and addition:

  • Example: 11×7 = (10×7) + 7 = 70 + 7 = 77
  • Example: 11×13 = (10×13) + 13 = 130 + 13 = 143

Trick 4: Skip Count with a Catchy Jingle (For Auditory Learners)

Skip counting by 11 aloud with a rhythm helps cement the sequence in memory. Use this fun jingle to make practice enjoyable:“11, 22, 33—math is fun, let’s take the lead! 44, 55, 66—11s facts are super quick! 77, 88, 99—we’re on a roll, let’s keep it fine! 110, 121, 132—we’ve mastered 11s, that’s what we do!”

Trick 5: Use the Commutative Property

Remind learners that multiplication is commutative—11 × n = n × 11. If they forget 11×6, they can recall 6×11=66 (which they might practice more often) to get the answer. This also helps link the 11s table to other tables they’re learning.


4. Fun Activities to Practice the 11 Multiplication Table

Make 11s practice engaging with these low-prep, interactive activities that work for classrooms, homeschool settings, and at-home learning. These activities focus on reinforcing the table’s patterns while keeping learners motivated:

  1. 11s Bingo: Create bingo cards with 11 multiplication table products (11–132). Call out facts (e.g., “11 times 7”) or real-world prompts (e.g., “How many players on 5 soccer teams?”). Students mark the corresponding number—first to get bingo wins a small prize (stickers, a pencil).
  2. Pattern Relay Race: Divide students into teams. Give each team a list of 11s facts (mix of single-digit and two-digit multipliers). Each student runs to a whiteboard, solves one fact using the appropriate pattern (repeat digit or split-and-add), and tags the next team member. The first team to complete all facts correctly wins (add a bonus point for teams that explain their pattern choice).
  3. 11s Pattern Scavenger Hunt: Hide cards around the room with 11s products (e.g., 44, 121) and clues about the pattern used to solve them (e.g., “My multiplier is a single digit—repeat it!”). Students find the cards, match them to the corresponding multiplication fact, and identify the pattern.
  4. Split-and-Add Challenge: Have students pair up. Give each pair a set of two-digit numbers (10–20). One student says a number, and the other uses the split-and-add trick to find 11×that number. They switch roles, and the pair that solves 10 facts correctly first wins a “Math Pattern Pro” badge.
  5. 11s Art Project (Pattern Poster): Have students create a poster of the 11 multiplication table, decorating each fact with a drawing that represents its pattern (e.g., 11×3=33 → draw two 3s side by side; 11×12=132 → draw 1, a plus sign between 1 and 2, and 2). Display posters in the classroom to celebrate progress.
  6. 11s Timed Challenge (Speed Drill): Set a timer for 1 minute and have students write as many 11s facts as they can. Track their progress over time—most students can master all 1–12 facts in under 30 seconds with consistent practice!
