About this worksheet
The 7s have no shortcut, so they are learned last and mostly by heart; practising the pairs both ways round (7 × 8 and 8 × 7) halves the work. The units digits run through all ten digits before repeating — which is why there is no easy check. The facts most children find hardest: 7 × 6 = 42, 7 × 8 = 56 and 7 × 9 = 63.
The 7 times table is taught in Year 4. Once it is secure, switch the question type to "7 × __ = 42" 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.
