How to learn the 9 times table

1

10 times, take one away

9 × is 10 × minus one lot. For 7 × 9: 70 − 7 = 63.

2

The digits make 9

Up to 10 × 9, the digits of the answer add up to 9: 6 + 3 = 9.

3

One less in the tens

For 7 × 9 the tens digit is one less than 7, so 6, and the ones make it up to 9: 63.

4

Finger trick

Hold up ten fingers and fold down the 7th. Fingers left of it are tens (6), right of it are ones (3): 63.

A tip for parents

Accuracy first, speed later. Five calm minutes a day beats a long, stressful session. Start in Training mode with no timer, and switch to Match only once your child gets most answers right.
