How to learn the 9 times table
💡 Finger trick
Hold up 10 fingers. For 9 × 4, fold down the 4th finger: 3 fingers left of it, 6 to the right → 36.
💡 Digits add to 9
From 9 × 1 to 9 × 10, the digits of each answer add up to 9: 63 → 6 + 3 = 9.
💡 One less, then fill
For 9 × 7 the tens digit is one less than 7 (6), and 6 + ? = 9, so the answer is 63.
💡 Ten minus one
9 × 8 = 80 − 8 = 72.
The tricky one: 9 × 7 = 63
Tens digit is 7 − 1 = 6, and 6 + 3 = 9 → 63.
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.
