The Lucky Sevens Times Table!
The 7s seem tricky, but you already know most of them!
🤩 You Already Know Most of It!
Because you've learned the other tables, you already know the answers up to 7 x 6!
✅ 7 x 1 is the same as 1 x 7 = 7
✅ 7 x 2 is the same as 2 x 7 = 14
✅ 7 x 3 is the same as 3 x 7 = 21
✅ 7 x 4 is the same as 4 x 7 = 28
✅ 7 x 5 is the same as 5 x 7 = 35
✅ 7 x 6 is the same as 6 x 7 = 42
🤏 The Finger Trick (for 7x6 and up!)
For the rest, you can use the amazing finger trick! Remember, number your fingers like this:
Let's solve 7 x 9:
1. Touch the Fingers:
Touch your '7' finger (index) on one hand to your '9' finger (ring) on the other.
2. Count the Tens:
Count the touching fingers and all fingers below them. You have 6 fingers in this group. That's 60.
3. Multiply the Ones:
Count the fingers *above* the touching ones. You have 3 fingers on one hand and 1 on the other. Multiply them: 3 x 1 = 3.
4. Add Them Up:
Add your tens and ones together: 60 + 3 = 63. So, 7 x 9 = 63!
🧩 The 'Break-Apart' Trick (5+2)
Seven is just 5 + 2! You can "break apart" any 7s problem into an easy 5s problem and a simple 2s problem.
How to solve 7 x 8:
First, solve (5 x 8) = 40.
Next, solve (2 x 8) = 16.
Now, just add them together!
40 + 16 = 56
