🔍 Mystery Matrix - Fill the Missing Numbers!

Use the row and column products to find the missing factors. Click "New Puzzle" to generate a fresh challenge!

🧠 How to Solve Mystery Matrix:

  1. Look at the products: The numbers in red are the results of multiplying the row and column
  2. Work backwards: If you know 6 × ? = 24, then ? = 24 ÷ 6 = 4
  3. Use what you know: Once you find one number, use it to find others
  4. Check your work: Make sure all products match!

✖️ Multiplying by 10, 100, and 1000

🎯 Quick Practice - Times 10

🚂 Train Cars Problem:

Each train has 8 cars. How many cars in 10 trains?

🚌 Bus Seats Problem:

Each bus has 25 seats. How many seats in 10 buses?

📚 The Magic of Multiplying by 10s

✖️ By 10:

  • 🚂 2 trains × 10 stations = 20 stops
  • 🎫 16 tickets × 10 days = 160 tickets sold
  • 🚌 8 buses × 10 routes = 80 daily trips
  • ⛽ 12 liters × 10 cars = 120 liters fuel
  • Pattern: Just add a zero!

✖️ By 100:

  • 🚁 3 helicopters × 100 flights = 300 flights
  • 🛳️ 14 ships × 100 containers = 1400 containers
  • 🚲 25 bikes × 100 days = 2500 bike rides
  • 🏍️ 7 motorcycles × 100 km = 700 km traveled
  • Pattern: Just add two zeros!

🌍 Real Transport Examples

🚄 High-Speed Rail Network

Scenario: A bullet train travels at 300 km/h

  • In 10 hours: 300 × 10 = 3000 km
  • That's like traveling from Delhi to Chennai!

✈️ Airport Operations

Scenario: An airport handles 50 flights per hour

  • In 10 hours: 50 × 10 = 500 flights
  • In 100 hours: 50 × 100 = 5000 flights

🚢 Cargo Ship Loading

Scenario: Each container weighs 25 tons

  • 10 containers: 25 × 10 = 250 tons
  • 100 containers: 25 × 100 = 2500 tons

📊 Constructing Times Tables (11-20)

🎯 Building Times-15 Table (10 + 5 Strategy)

Breaking down 15 = 10 + 5:

1 × 15 = (1 × 10) + (1 × 5) = 10 + 5 = 15
2 × 15 = (2 × 10) + (2 × 5) = 20 + 10 = 30
3 × 15 = (3 × 10) + (3 × 5) = 30 + 15 = 45
4 × 15 = (4 × 10) + (4 × 5) = 40 + 20 = 60

🔍 Comparing Table Patterns

Times 5 vs Times 15:

5 × 3 = 15
15 × 3 = 45
15 table = 5 table × 3

Times 1 vs Times 11:

1 × 4 = 4
11 × 4 = 44
Notice the pattern!

🎯 Splitting and Doubling Strategy

Example: 3 × 14 using doubling

Step 1: Find 3 × 7 = 21
Step 2: Double it! 21 × 2 = 42
Result: 3 × 14 = 42 ✅
