About this worksheet
Double the 4s (or double three times from the number itself): 8 × 6 is double 24. Every answer is even; the units digits go 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and repeat. The facts that need the most repetition: 8 × 6 = 48, 8 × 7 = 56 and 8 × 8 = 64 — three facts that look alike.
Typical use: grade 3, one sheet a day for a week, then a mixed 0–12 sheet to check the 8s 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
- Common Core 3.OA.C.7 — fluently multiply within 100
- Common Core 3.OA.B.5 — properties of operations (commutativity: 8 × a = a × 8)
