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 most children find hardest: 6 × 7, 6 × 8 and 6 × 9 — the "upper square" that needs the most practice in every table.
The 6 times table is taught in Year 4. Once it is secure, switch the question type to "6 × __ = 36" for the related division facts, or tick the other tables of the year group for a mixed sheet. Fifty and 100-question versions are a click away.
