The 14 times table is another optional step past 12 x 12. Two weeks make 14 days, so it has real uses on a calendar.

Every answer is even and is exactly twice the matching answer in the 7 times table. Counting by 14s lands on 14, 28, 42, 56 and 70, with the last digit following the cycle 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.

Tip for the 14 times table

Double the 7 times table: for 14 x 8, the 7s give 7 x 8 = 56, and doubling 56 gives 112. If the 7s feel shaky, build 14 from 10 and 4 instead and add the two parts.

The 3 hardest facts

14 x 7, 14 x 8 and 14 x 9 give three-digit answers close to 100 and are easy to misplace by ten. Estimate with 10 x the number first, then add the rest.

Turnaround facts

Swapping the numbers gives the same answer, so each fact below is learned once and used twice.

Questions parents ask

Is the 14 times table useful outside of math class?

Yes, anything counted in fortnights or in pairs of weeks uses it, and it makes a good exercise in doubling the 7s.

Should my child learn the 7s before the 14s?

Yes. The 14s are twice the 7s, so a child who is secure with the 7 times table can build every 14 fact by doubling.
