Times Tables
Multiplication is repeated addition. Knowing your times tables well makes later maths much faster.
The 7 times table
7 × 1 = 7, 7 × 2 = 14, 7 × 3 = 21, 7 × 4 = 28, 7 × 5 = 35 ... up to 7 × 12 = 84.
A useful trick
For the 9 times table, hold up 10 fingers. To find 9 × 4, fold down the 4th finger — 3 fingers before it (30) and 6 after it (6) gives 36.
