How it works
Multiplication chart 6 is the 6 times table from 6 × 1 = 6 to 6 × 12 = 72, or to 6 × 20 = 120 with Go up to × 20. Every second fact obeys one rule about even numbers.

The even rule: the last digit stays
6 times an even number ends in that same digit: 6 × 2 = 12, 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48. In those four the tens digit is half the number, so 6 × 8 begins with a 4. For an odd number, take five of them and add one more: for 6 × 7, 35 + 7 = 42.
Spend the quiz on the odd lines
The even rule hands you 6 of the 12 lines on a multiplication chart for 6. Press New quiz, type the answers, press Check, then Practice the ones you missed. If 6 × 7 or 6 × 9 comes back, work it as five lots plus one more.
- Know the 3s? Double them: 3 × 7 = 21 and double 21 is 42, so 6 × 7 = 42.
- A six multiplication chart holds only even answers: an odd number in a quiz box is wrong before Check.
- On a multiplication chart by 6 each line is 6 more than the last: 6 × 9 is 48 + 6 = 54.
Questions and answers
What are the 6 math facts?
The 6 math facts are the 12 lines from 6 × 1 = 6 to 6 × 12 = 72. The answers are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66 and 72, and their last digits repeat 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
Why does the even rule work on a multiplication chart of 6?
6 times a number is 5 times it, plus the number once more. 5 times an even number ends in 0: 5 × 8 = 40, and adding the 8 makes 48. 5 times an odd number ends in 5, so the digit shifts: 45 + 9 = 54.
How do you tell if a number is in the 6 times table?
Give it two tests: it must be even, and its digits must add up to a number in the 3 times table. 96 is even and 9 + 6 = 15, so it passes: 6 × 16 = 96. 94 is even, but 9 + 4 = 13, so it fails.
