  • Students will be able to identify the pattern in the 11 times table.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about the number 11 and the 11 times table. Explain that they will be learning a fun song to help them remember the multiples of 11. Briefly introduce the concept of skip counting.
  • Watch the Video (5 mins)
    Play the "11 Times Table Song | Skip Counting the Multiples of 11" video by NUMBEROCK. Encourage students to sing along and tap their pencils as they watch.
  • Discussion (5 mins)
    After watching the video, have a brief class discussion about the song and the multiples of 11. Ask students what they noticed about the pattern in the 11 times table.
  • Skip Counting Practice (10 mins)
    Practice skip counting by 11 as a class. Start at 11 and have students take turns saying the next multiple of 11. Write the multiples on the board as you go. Once you get to 132, go backwards.
  • Multiplication Fact Practice (10 mins)
    Write multiplication problems involving 11 on the board (e.g., 3 x 11, 7 x 11, 11 x 11). Have students solve the problems individually or in pairs. Encourage them to use the song to help them remember the answers.
  • Pattern Exploration (10 mins)
    Discuss the pattern in the 11 times table. For numbers 1-9, the answer to x * 11 is the number repeated. Example: 4 * 11 = 44. How can we figure out 11 * 15? 1(1+5)5 = 165.
