The 7 times table has a reputation as the hardest, but most of it is already known from other tables. Only a handful of facts are new.
Skip counting by 7s

- 70
- 77
- 84
Skip counting by sevens has no repeating last digit for the first ten answers, which is why it feels harder than the 5s or 2s.
Tip for the 7 times table
Split 7 into 5 and 2: for 7 x 8, add 5 x 8 = 40 and 2 x 8 = 16 to get 56. The rhyme 5, 6, 7, 8 also helps: 56 = 7 x 8.
The 3 hardest facts
- 7 × 8 = 56
- 7 × 6 = 42
- 7 × 7 = 49
7 x 8, 7 x 6 and 7 x 7 cause more mistakes than any other trio. Use the 5 and 2 split until the answers come without working out.

Why is the 7 times table so hard?
Its answers do not follow an easy visual pattern. The good news: by the time children reach 7s, they already know 7 x 1, 2, 5 and 10 from other tables.
