The 6 times table is the 3 times table doubled. It is often the first table where children need a strategy instead of counting.

When 6 multiplies an even number, the answer ends in that number: 6 x 4 = 24, 6 x 6 = 36, 6 x 8 = 48.
Tip for the 6 times table
Find the threes fact and double it: 6 x 7 is double 3 x 7, so double 21 is 42. Even numbers times 6 also end in the same digit as the number.
The 3 hardest facts
- 6 × 7 = 42
- 6 × 8 = 48
- 6 × 9 = 54
6 x 7, 6 x 8 and 6 x 9 are among the most missed facts in any table. A short daily round on just these three pays off fast.

Questions parents ask
My child knows the 5s. Can that help with the 6s?
Yes. 6 x 8 is 5 x 8 plus one more 8, so 40 plus 8 is 48. Building from a known fact is a strong habit.
How do I help with 6 x 7 and 6 x 8?
Say them as a pair: six times seven is forty-two, six times eight is forty-eight. Pairing them helps children keep them apart.
