Why the 6s lean on the 3s

6 is 2 × 3, so every answer here is a 3s answer doubled: 3 × 7 = 21, and double 21 is 42. England's pupils count in 6s in Year 4, a year after they learn the 3s. With the tables up to the 5s and the 10s secure, only 6 lines are new: 6 times 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12.

A 6s multiplication worksheet for each stage

Begin with 6 times table in order, then Double the 3s fact: 6 × 7 = 2 × (3 × 7). Move to 6 times table shuffled once the run 6, 12, 18 is steady. Missing factor: 6 × __ = 42 and Divide by 6 turn the facts around. Finish on 6s, 7s and 8s mixed, which keeps 6 × 7 and 6 × 8 coming back.

  • 6 times an even number ends in that number's last digit: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 8 = 48.
  • When 6 × 7 slips, print Split 6 into 5 and 1: 7 × 6 as 35 + 7.
  • An empty egg box makes Half dozens: boxes of 6 eggs concrete. Pupils count six cups, then count boxes.

Questions and answers

How can pupils check a 6s answer without the key?

The answer must be even, and its digits must add up to a multiple of 3. 54 passes, since 5 + 4 = 9. 56 is even, but 5 + 6 = 11, so it fails. 135 adds up to 9 but is odd, so it fails too.

What is a quick way to work out 6 × 7 or 6 × 8?

Start from a table the pupil trusts. From the 3s, double: 3 × 8 = 24, so 6 × 8 = 48. From the 5s, add one more group: 5 × 7 = 35, and 35 + 7 = 42. Both routes have sheets under Shortcuts from the 3s and the 5s.

What are the multiples of 6 up to 100?

There are 16: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90 and 96. The first twelve are the table itself. 6 × 13 to 6 × 25 carries the count on, and 6 × 24 = 144 matches 12 × 12.

The 6 times table 5

  • 6 times table in order The 13 facts from 6 × 0 up to 6 × 12 in order, the 6 leading each line. Each answer is 6 more than the one above, so a stuck pupil can add 6 to the line before. Then 12 of the facts are asked again out of order, 25 lines. Short of time? 13 problems is the run and nothing else.
  • 6 times table shuffled 40 problems from 6 × 1 to 6 × 12 in mixed order, the 6 first on some lines and second on others. Each of the 12 facts comes up 3 times and 4 of them a fourth time, never twice in a row. The page opens on this sheet.
  • 6 times table up to 6 × 10 The shuffled sheet for a class that stops at the tens: no 6 × 11 and no 6 × 12. With 10 facts and 40 problems, each fact from 6 × 1 to 6 × 10 comes up 4 times.

The 6 times table, continued

  • Half dozens: boxes of 6 eggs Every line is a sentence to finish: 7 boxes of 6 eggs = __ eggs. A dozen is 12, so half a dozen is 6. Some lines ask it backwards, 42 eggs fill __ boxes of 6, which is 42 ÷ 6 = 7 in words. The boxes run from 2 up to 12.
  • One-minute drill on the 6s 30 shuffled facts from 6 × 1 to 6 × 12 under the line Set a timer for 1 minute and see how far you get, with a score out of 30 at the top. Keep the week's drills in one folder so each pupil can watch their own scores climb.

Shortcuts from the 3s and the 5s 3

  • 6 × even numbers: 6 × 8 = 48 6 times an even number ends in the digit that number ends in: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 8 = 48, 6 × 14 = 84. The 12 facts from 6 × 2 to 6 × 24 come up once each, with the 6 written first, so pupils can check their own last digits before the key comes out.
  • Double the 3s fact: 6 × 7 = 2 × (3 × 7) 6 is 2 × 3, so each line rewrites the 6, moves the brackets and doubles last: 6 × 7 = (2 × 3) × 7 = 2 × (3 × 7) = 2 × 21 = 42. The 3s fact does the work and one doubling finishes it.
  • Split 6 into 5 and 1: 7 × 6 as 35 + 7 6 is 5 + 1, so 7 sixes are 7 fives plus one more 7. Every line arrives half split: 7 × 6 = 7 × 5 + 7 × ___ = ___ + ___ = ___, which comes to 35 + 7 = 42. It leans on the 5 times table, which most classes meet long before the 6s.

Missing numbers and division 3

  • Divide by 6 40 division facts from 6 ÷ 6 up to 72 ÷ 6, shuffled. Each one is a 6s fact read backwards: 48 ÷ 6 = 8 because 8 × 6 = 48. Halving and then taking a third gets there too: 48, 24, 8.
  • Fact families with 6: 6, 9 and 54 Each box gives three numbers, such as 6, 9 and 54, and four empty lines for 6 × 9 = 54, 9 × 6 = 54, 54 ÷ 6 = 9 and 54 ÷ 9 = 6. It catches the pupil who sees a 6 and multiplies without reading the sign. 6, 6 and 36 is left out, because a square has only two facts.
  • Missing factor: 6 × __ = 42 The product is printed and the other factor is blank: 6 × __ = 42, then 6 × __ = 54. Counting up in 6s finds the answer. Knowing 6 × 7 = 42 and 6 × 9 = 54 finds it faster, and that is the point of the sheet.

Mixed with other tables 3

  • 2s, 3s and 6s mixed 6 is 2 × 3, so all three tables meet at 6, 12, 18 and 24. 12 can be 2 × 6, 3 × 4 or 6 × 2, and 24 can be 2 × 12, 3 × 8 or 6 × 4.
  • 3s and 6s mixed The 3 and 6 times tables shuffled together, 40 problems. The answers 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 sit in both tables: 18 is 3 × 6 and also 6 × 3, while 24 is 3 × 8 or 6 × 4.
  • 6s, 7s and 8s mixed The 6s with the two tables that come after them. The sheet keeps bringing round 6 × 7 = 42, 6 × 8 = 48 and 7 × 8 = 56, next to the squares 6 × 6 = 36, 7 × 7 = 49 and 8 × 8 = 64.

Past 6 × 12 2

  • 6 × 13 to 6 × 25 The table carried past 12 by splitting the other number into tens and ones: 6 × 13 = 6 × (10 + 3), then 60 + 18, then 78. The sheet reaches 6 × 25 = 150, and 6 × 24 = 144 lands on the same number as 12 × 12 = 144.
  • 6 × tens: 6 × 40 = 240 6 × 20 up to 6 × 90. Each line sets the ten aside and multiplies by it last: 6 × 40 = 6 × (4 × 10) = (6 × 4) × 10 = 24 × 10 = 240. Watch 6 × 50 = 300, where the zero from 30 and the zero from the ten both have to be written.
