Skip count by 6s
Say these out loud, tapping a finger for each one. Stop after 3 counts and you land on 18, the same answer as the dots.

How to remember the 6 times table
- Take 5 times and add one more: 6 × 7 = 35 + 7 = 42.
- With an even number, the answer ends in that number and its tens digit is half of it: 6 × 4 = 24 and 6 × 8 = 48.
- It’s double the 3 times table: 3 × 9 = 27, so 6 × 9 = 54.
Patterns in the 6 times table
- Each answer is 6 more than the one before: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and so on.
- The last digits repeat every 5 answers: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
- Every answer is even, because an even number times anything is even.

- 6 × 6 = 36 is a square number: 6 rows of 6.
- Learning in order? You already know 6 × 1 to 6 × 5 from the earlier tables (6 × 3 = 3 × 6), so only 7 of the facts up to 6 × 12 are new.
