A STRATEGY FOR LEARNING THE SEVEN TIMES TABLES


Learning the 7 times tables



I have used this strategy with students who are finding the seven times tables difficult to learn and remember.  (Colour coding is also very useful).

1.     Write the numbers 0 – 9 like this:

0
7
4
1

8
5
2

9
6
3



These are the unit/ones numbers for the multiples of 7. 



2.     Now begin to put in the tens numbers to complete the table like this:





0
0 x 7 =
7
1 x 7
14
2 x 7
21
3 x 7

28
4 x 7
35
5 x 7
42
6 x 7

49
7 x 7
56
8 x 7
63
9 x 7



3.     Notice how the pattern continues:



0
0 x 7
70
10 x 7
7
1 x 7
77
11 x 7
14
2 x 7
84
12 x 7
21
3 x 7
91
13 x 7

28
4 x 7
98
14 x 7
35
5 x 7
105
15 x 7
42
6 x 7
112
16 x 7

49
7 x 7
119
17 x 7
56
8 x 7
126
18 x 7
63
9 x 7
133
19 x 7
