Patterns that help
The last digits of the first ten answers use every digit once: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0. There is no quick digit trick, so the tricky facts need practice.
The facts that trip children up: 7 × 6 = 42, 7 × 7 = 49, 7 × 8 = 56, 7 × 12 = 84.
If a fact goes missing: Split 7 into 5 and 2. 7 × 8 is 5 × 8 plus 2 × 8, which is 40 + 16 = 56. Or remember 5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 × 8.
The 7 times table is one of the five (6, 7, 8, 9 and 12) that the multiplication tables check gives more weight to, so it is worth extra practice before June of Year 4.
