How it works
Make a free 11 multiplication worksheet with one press, another with the next. It starts on 40 shuffled facts from 11 × 1 to 11 × 12. Sheet type adds the split into 10 and 1 and two-digit numbers times 11.

The pattern runs out at 11 × 9
From 11 × 1 to 11 × 9 the answer is the other factor written twice: 22, 33, 44. Then 11 × 10, 11 × 11 and 11 × 12 catch pupils out. Ten plus one fixes it: 11 × 12 is ten 12s and one more 12, and 120 + 12 makes 132. The same split explains the double digits: 11 × 4 is 40 + 4.
Two-digit numbers times 11
Past the chart a second pattern starts. For 11 × 25, write the 2 and the 5 with their sum between them: 275. If the sum passes 9, carry: 11 × 48 has 4 + 8 = 12, so 2 goes in the middle, the 4 becomes 5, and the answer is 528. Add the digits: 11 × 25 = 275 practices it.
- If every other table was learned up to × 12, one line here is new: 11 × 11 = 121.
- An 11s answer ends in the same digit as the other factor, so 11 × 12 must end in 2.
- Warm up with Count on in 11s past 99: 88, 99, 110. It crosses the spot where double digits stop.
Questions and answers
Is the 11 times table in the curriculum?
In England, yes: the curriculum expects recall of every table up to 12 × 12 by the end of Year 4. The Common Core does not ask for it: 11 has two digits, and its Grade 3 memory list covers one-digit numbers only.
How can you tell if a number is a multiple of 11?
Subtract and add its digits in turn. 275 gives 2 − 7 + 5 = 0, and 528 gives 5 − 2 + 8 = 11. A result of 0, 11 or another multiple of 11 means the number is in the table. 300 gives 3, so it is out.
Which sheet suits a class new to the 11s?
11 times table in order, because the double digits show up as a run. Follow it with Split 11 into 10 and 1: 7 × 11 is 70 + 7, which prepares 11 × 10 to 11 × 12, then 11 times table shuffled. Finish with Divide by 11.
