Return to Teaching Timestables
8x
The 8x are notoriously difficult. However, it might not be so bad if we consider that there are only a few we need to focus on.
6 x 8 equals 48 has a nice rhyme to it, but doubling the double can work well because there is no carrying over the place value columns.
7 x 8 = 56 is considered one of the hardest timestables. Help the students notice the numbers 5,6,7,8 are all on display in the expression.
