6x
Stick with me here. Can you imitate a seal?
I promise, if you explain to students that there is a seal that says 6 x 6, they’ll never forget the answer. Whilst, you are pretending to clap your flippers together say in a seal’s voice “6 x 6 is 36”
and get them to repeat it.
Do this a few times, tell them they’ll never forget – and done!
6 x 7
6 x 7 is the same as 6 x 6 + 6. If they have learnt the seal approach, this is one of the fastest way to go one step further.
Sports Link
Counting by 6 is important in my many sports. Observe a sport in which the score increases by 6 when goals are scored and encourage the students to calculate the total points achieved.
