How to learn the 18 times table
💡 Double the 9s
18 × 7 = double 63 = 126.
💡 Twenty minus two
18 × 6 = 120 − 12 = 108.
The tricky one: 18 × 8 = 144
Double 72. And yes, it is 144 again, like 12 × 12.
Tables beyond 12 are not required in most US or UK schools. They are a great stretch for confident children aged 9+, and they build fast mental math for later grades. Children in India often learn tables up to 20.
