Patterns can help you remember multiplication facts by providing visual clues and related associations. This can make memorization easier and more efficient. Here are two examples:
1) Multiples of 10: The pattern of multiplying any number by 10 results in a digit being added at the end. For example, if you multiply 7 by 10, the result is 70. Seeing this pattern helps in remembering that all multiplication facts involving multiplying by 10 will have a "0" at the end of the product.
2) Doubling numbers: Doubling a number is equivalent to multiplying it by 2. Recognizing the pattern of doubling can help in quickly recalling multiplication facts. For instance, if you know that 6 doubled is 12 (6 x 2 = 12), then it becomes easier to recall that 12 doubled is 24 (12 x 2 = 24), and so on. This pattern of doubling can be extended to any number, making it simpler to remember multiplication facts.
