About this worksheet
10 times the number minus the number once: 9 × 7 = 70 − 7. The finger trick (fold down the nth finger) gives the same facts to 9 × 10. The digits of every answer up to 9 × 10 add up to 9, and the tens digit is one less than the multiplier (9 × 7 = 63). The facts most children find hardest: 9 × 6, 9 × 7 and 9 × 8 before the pattern is secure; 9 × 11 and 9 × 12 after it.
The 9 times table is taught in Year 4. Once it is secure, switch the question type to "9 × __ = 54" 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.
