Practise Your Six Times Table

This activity is about multiplying by six.

Example

There are 9 egg boxes here.

Each box has 6 eggs.

We want to work out how many eggs there are in total.

What is 9 times 6?

Answer

In total, there are 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6  = 54 eggs

What is 6 times 9?

6 × 9 = 54

9 × 6 = 54

Can you see how much quicker it is to use multiplication, rather than addition?

Let's have a go at the questions and practise those times tables!
