The 6 times table

  • 6 × 1 =6
  • 6 × 2 =12
  • 6 × 3 =18
  • 6 × 4 =24
  • 6 × 5 =30
  • 6 × 6 =36
  • 6 × 7 =42
  • 6 × 8 =48
  • 6 × 9 =54
  • 6 × 10 =60
  • 6 × 11 =66
  • 6 × 12 =72

Trick

Use the 5s: 6 × 7 is 5 × 7 (35) plus one more 7 (42).

6 × an even number ends in that number: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 8 = 48.

Where do you see 6s?

A bee has 6 legs. So 3 of them make 3 × 6 = 18.

Count in 6s: the multiples of 6

The numbers you say when you count in 6s are the multiples of 6. They are the answers in the 6 times table, and they keep going after 6 × 12. A number is a multiple of 6 if it can be shared into groups of 6 with nothing left over.
