Times-table circle patterns

Connect the ones digits of a times table around a circle to draw a star or polygon.

About this worksheet

Students list the products of a times table, write each ones digit, and join the digits around a ten-point circle. Every table draws its own shape.

The activity reveals the pattern in the ones digits and gives repeated multiplication practice a purpose. Tables that end in 5 or 0 are left out because they only draw a line.
