About this worksheet
Double the 3s: 6 × 7 is double 21. Or 5 times the number plus the number once more (6 × 7 = 35 + 7). For even numbers the answer ends in the same digit: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48. The facts that need the most repetition: 6 × 7, 6 × 8 and 6 × 9 — the "upper square" that needs the most practice in every table.
Typical use: grade 3, one sheet a day for a week, then a mixed 0–12 sheet to check the 6s hold up among the other tables. Narrow the range to 1–10 for a shorter table, or switch to the horizontal layout for a fact-test format.
Standards
