Patterns that help

Every answer is even, and the last digits go 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then repeat. Four times a number is double, then double again.

The facts that trip children up: 4 × 7 = 28, 4 × 8 = 32, 4 × 12 = 48.

If a fact goes missing: Double, then double again. 4 × 7: double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28.
