Practise the 18 times table
Three practice questions first, then all twelve facts in a random order. Each one has six seconds and a three-second pause before the next, the same pace as the multiplication tables check in Year 4. Type the answer or tap the keypad.
Six seconds is a tough pace for a table beyond 12. If it feels too fast, work each fact out on paper first, then come back to the check.

Patterns that help
Every answer is even, and each one is double the matching 9 times table answer: 18 × 4 = 72, which is double 36. The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9: for 126, 1 + 2 + 6 = 9.
Facts worth learning by heart: 18 × 7 = 126, 18 × 8 = 144 and 18 × 12 = 216.
If a fact goes missing: Work out 20 lots, then take away 2 lots. 18 × 7 is 140 − 14, which is 126.
The multiplication tables check in Year 4 stops at 12, so the 18 times table is not in it. It is a stretch table: knowing it makes 11+ questions on multiples, fractions and money quicker, but the 2 to 12 tables come first.
