Multiplication facts: 16 problems a sheet, 3 versions that do not repeat each other where the numbers allow.

How to use it

  1. Look at the sheet: it is a real, printable sheet. Switch between Sheet A, B and C, or press New numbers (N) for a fresh set.
  2. Change how many problems, how many versions, and whether the key prints. Settings stay in this browser; Share copies a link that rebuilds the same sheets.
  3. Press Print sheet A and key, or Print all. The answer key prints on its own page, so you can keep it back.

Ideas for class

  • Point out that the product of 6 and any even number ends in the same digit as that number: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48.
  • Ask students to write the 6s as 5s plus a copy of the other factor beside each problem on the first sheet.
  • Use the key to sort missed facts, and spend the next five minutes of the day on only those.

Questions

Why teach the 6s after the 3s?

Because 6 × n is double 3 × n. A class that knows the 3s well can build the 6s in minutes and then see why the two tables are related.

Is there a trick for 6 × 7?

There is a reliable one: 6 × 6 is 36 and one more 6 is 42. Students who know the square numbers can reach most of the hard facts from them.

Are the answer keys checked?

Each answer is worked out by the code that wrote the problem, and our tests recompute every answer a second way and compare. Please still look over the key before you grade a class set.

What this worksheet covers

The 6s start to ask for more than counting. Every problem has a 6 in it, with the other factor from 2 to 10 in either order. A useful way into the table is that 6 × n is 5 × n plus one more n, which draws on the 5s that students already know well. There are nine facts, so the three versions reuse them in different orders.

Who it is for

Third grade, 3.OA.C.7. Teach it after the 3s, because 6 × n is 3 × n doubled. A student who knows both the 5s and the 3s can derive any fact on this sheet.

The 6 times table, from 6 × 2 to 6 × 10 · grade 3

A worked example

For 6 × 8, work from 5 × 8 = 40 and add one more 8: 48. Or double 3 × 8 = 24 to get 48. Two routes to the same product is a good habit, and it shows students that the numbers fit together.

Mistakes to watch for

  • Mistaking 6 × 7 for 36 or 48. The correct 42 is the one that is hardest to hold, so spend extra time on it.
  • Starting from 6 × 5 and adding the wrong number, so 6 × 7 becomes 30 + 6. Add the other factor, which is 7.
