The Amazing Eight Times Table!
The 8s are just doubles in disguise!
🤩 You Already Know Almost All of It!
You've done so much work already! Because of the other tables, you only need to learn **two** new facts: 8x8 and 8x9.
✅ 8 x 1 is the same as 1 x 8 = 8
✅ 8 x 2 is the same as 2 x 8 = 16
✅ 8 x 3 is the same as 3 x 8 = 24
✅ 8 x 4 is the same as 4 x 8 = 32
✅ 8 x 5 is the same as 5 x 8 = 40
✅ 8 x 6 is the same as 6 x 8 = 48
✅ 8 x 7 is the same as 7 x 8 = 56
✨ The 'Double, Double, Double' Trick!
This is the secret to the 8s table! Multiplying by 8 is the same as **doubling a number three times**.
How to solve 8 x 6:
Step 1: Double 6 👉 12.
Step 2: Double 12 👉 24.
Step 3: Double 24 👉 48.
So, 8 x 6 = 48!
🤏 The Finger Trick (for the new facts!)
You can use the finger trick for the new facts like 8x8 and 8x9!
Let's solve the first new fact: 8 x 8
1. Touch the Fingers: Touch your '8' fingers (middle fingers) together.
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 2 fingers on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply them: 2 x 2 = 4.
4. Add Them Up: 60 + 4 = 64. So, 8 x 8 = 64!
🎨 The Last Digit Pattern
The last digit of the answers follows a repeating pattern that goes backwards from 8!
The pattern 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 repeats for 8x6, 8x7, 8x8, 8x9, and 8x10!
