How to learn the 7 times table
💡 5, 6, 7, 8
Say it in order: 56 = 7 × 8. The four digits count up.
💡 Flip the easy ones
7 × 2, 7 × 5 and 7 × 10 are the same as 2 × 7, 5 × 7 and 10 × 7. Only 7 × 7, 7 × 8 and 7 × 9 are truly new.
💡 Five plus two
Split 7 into 5 and 2: 7 × 6 = 5 × 6 + 2 × 6 = 30 + 12 = 42.
💡 Seven squared
7 × 7 = 49. It sits just under 50, so it is easy to picture.
The tricky one: 7 × 8 = 56
5, 6, 7, 8: fifty-six is seven times eight.
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.
