Solutions:
####
Left Column (Problems 25 to 36):
25) $ 9 \times 11 = 99 $
> Multiply: $ 9 \times 10 = 90 $, then add $ 9 \times 1 = 9 $ → $ 90 + 9 = 99 $
26) $ \_\_ \times 3 = 24 $ → $ 24 \div 3 = 8 $
> So, $ 8 \times 3 = 24 $
27) $ 4 \times \_\_ = 40 $ → $ 40 \div 4 = 10 $
> So, $ 4 \times 10 = 40 $
28) $ 6 \times 9 = 54 $
> $ 6 \times 10 = 60 $, subtract $ 6 $ → $ 60 - 6 = 54 $
29) $ \_\_ \times 7 = 21 $ → $ 21 \div 7 = 3 $
> So, $ 3 \times 7 = 21 $
30) $ 8 \times \_\_ = 24 $ → $ 24 \div 8 = 3 $
> So, $ 8 \times 3 = 24 $
31) $ 5 \times 5 = 25 $
32) $ \_\_ \times 10 = 60 $ → $ 60 \div 10 = 6 $
> So, $ 6 \times 10 = 60 $
33) $ 6 \times \_\_ = 60 $ → $ 60 \div 6 = 10 $
> So, $ 6 \times 10 = 60 $
34) $ 5 \times 7 = 35 $
35) $ \_\_ \times 5 = 35 $ → $ 35 \div 5 = 7 $
> So, $ 7 \times 5 = 35 $
36) $ 5 \times \_\_ = 30 $ → $ 30 \div 5 = 6 $
> So, $ 5 \times 6 = 30 $

Right Column (Problems 37 to 48):
37) $ 9 \times 10 = 90 $
38) $ \_\_ \times 4 = 20 $ → $ 20 \div 4 = 5 $
> So, $ 5 \times 4 = 20 $
39) $ 7 \times \_\_ = 21 $ → $ 21 \div 7 = 3 $
> So, $ 7 \times 3 = 21 $
40) $ 10 \times 9 = 90 $
41) $ \_\_ \times 12 = 36 $ → $ 36 \div 12 = 3 $
> So, $ 3 \times 12 = 36 $
42) $ 5 \times \_\_ = 55 $ → $ 55 \div 5 = 11 $
> So, $ 5 \times 11 = 55 $
43) $ 5 \times 4 = 20 $
44) $ \_\_ \times 11 = 99 $ → $ 99 \div 11 = 9 $
> So, $ 9 \times 11 = 99 $
45) $ 8 \times \_\_ = 56 $ → $ 56 \div 8 = 7 $
> So, $ 8 \times 7 = 56 $
46) $ 12 \times 10 = 120 $
47) $ \_\_ \times 11 = 121 $ → $ 121 \div 11 = 11 $
> So, $ 11 \times 11 = 121 $
48) $ 6 \times \_\_ = 42 $ → $ 42 \div 6 = 7 $
> So, $ 6 \times 7 = 42 $

🔍 Explanation:
- These problems reinforce
multiplication facts up to $ 12 \times 12 $.
- For missing factor questions (e.g., $ \_\_ \times 3 = 24 $), we use
division to find the unknown number.
- The goal is to build
mental math fluency, so students should practice recalling facts quickly.
- Some tricks:
- Multiplying by 10: just add a zero.
- Multiplying by 11: for single digits, $ n \times 11 = nn $ (e.g., $ 9 \times 11 = 99 $).
- Use known facts to derive others (e.g., $ 6 \times 9 = (6 \times 10) - 6 = 60 - 6 = 54 $).
