8 · Forty-eight split into 6 equal piles gives 8 in each.
56 · Seven times eight is fifty-six.

8 · Division undoes multiplication: 88 ÷ 11 = 8, matching 11 × 8 = 88.
132 · Twelve times eleven is one hundred thirty-two.
False · Eleven times twelve is one hundred thirty-two, not 121.
81 · Nine times nine is eighty-one.
12 · Eighty-four split into groups of 7 makes 12 groups.
Yes, splitting 12 into 10 and 2 and adding the two parts works · Splitting 12 into 10 + 2 and adding the two products is a solid way to build a tricky fact: 120 + 24 = 144.
