The 12 Times Table for Kids

Twelve is everywhere—12 months in a year, 12 eggs in a carton. Knowing the 12 times table helps kids with fractions, timetables, and measurements.

Examples

🥚 Egg‑Carton Mountain: A farmer stacks 12 sturdy cartons, each cradling 12 fresh eggs. Multiplying 12 × 12 piles up 144 eggs—a full gross!

📅 Subscription Bills: Three family subscriptions renew monthly. Over 12 months, 12 × 3 means 36 payments will be charged in a year.

🚴 Bike Chains: A repair shop lines up 12 bicycles for tune‑ups, each needing 1 brand‑new chain. Calculating 12 × 1 orders 12 shiny chains from the parts bin.

🎲 Board‑Game Dice: A party of 12 players gathers for a role‑playing game. Each adventurer grabs 4 dice, so 12 × 4 clatters 48 dice across the table.

Hacks & Tricks

🔟 (10 + 2) Trick: 12 × n = (10 × n) + (2 × n).

🎢 6‑Double: Find 6 × n, then double the result.

⏰ Clock Count: Skip‑count by 12s around the hours.

📏 Foot‑Inch Link: 12 inches = 1 foot—measure and multiply!
