This worksheet has a 10×10 multiplication square which is a brilliant aid to helping with tables, but it is also excellent for showing the pattern of square numbers from 1 to 10.
A square number is made by multiplying a whole number by itself. eg 4 x 4 = 16.
16 is a square number.
It is quite useful to learn the first 10 square numbers off by heart:
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100.
We will look more closely at square numbers later.
