You will need to colour the x3 tables here.
How do you check if a number is in the X3 tables?
Add up the digits in this number – is the total a multiple of 3?
12346911
is it in x3 tables?
Now circle the X9 tables – what do you notice about the
pattern of numbers?
All numbers in the x9 tables add up to 9 or a multiple of 9.
e.g. 2 + 7 = 9
8+1=9
Can you demonstrate the finger method for X9 tables? Ask
your tutor if you are not sure!
Final 3 tables are x6, x7, and x8
There are no major clues to remembering all of these tables.
You may want to remember that x8 tables drop the unit’s digits
in 2s each time
e.g.
8
16
(8-2)
24 (6-2)
Etc
One of the
most
difficult
tables to
remember
is 7X8=56
A little
clue is that
the
numbers
run
