How to learn the 6 times table
💡 Five plus one more
Work out 5 × the number, then add the number once more: 6 × 7 = 35 + 7 = 42.
💡 Even numbers match
An even number × 6 ends in that same digit: 6 × 2 = 12, 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48.
💡 Double the 3s
6 × 9 is double 3 × 9: double 27 = 54.
The tricky one: 6 × 8 = 48
Even number, so it ends in 8. Then 5 × 8 = 40, plus 8 = 48.
The 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 times tables are usually the last to learn. In the UK all tables up to 12 × 12 are expected by the end of Year 4 (age 8–9). In the US most children have them by the end of 3rd or 4th grade.
