Something amazing happens in the multiplication table when an even number is multiplied by 6.
Something just as amazing (but backwards) happens in the multiplication table when a multiple of 3 is multiplied by 7.
Here is a graphic that may be helpful for students memorizing some of those 6 and 7 multiplication facts. It is meant to be read from left to right and contains some cool coincidences:
Knowing those 6 and 7 multiplication facts will help any student know the multiplication table backwards and forwards!
While it isn’t necessary to memorize the following number facts, some of the patterns in the graphic above continue with them:
- 10 + 5 = 15, and 15 x 7 = 105
- 12 + 6 = 18, and 18 x 7 = 126
- 14 + 7 = 21, and 21 x 7 = 147
- 16 + 8 = 24, and 24 x 7 = 168
- 18 + 9 = 27, and 27 x 7 = 189
