A table you mostly know already

The 7 times table

The 7s look hard, but by the time children reach them they know 7 × 2, 7 × 5 and 7 × 10 from the friendly tables, and 7 × 3, 7 × 4 and 7 × 6 from the middle ones. Only 7 × 7, 7 × 8 and 7 × 9 are really new.

Practice the 7s

  1. 7 × 17
  2. 7 × 214
  3. 7 × 321
  4. 7 × 428
  5. 7 × 535
  6. 7 × 642
  7. 7 × 749
  8. 7 × 856
  9. 7 × 963
  10. 7 × 1070
  11. 7 × 1177
  12. 7 × 1284

Learning the 7s

The tricky ones

7 × 8 = 56 is the classic tricky fact (children say 54 or 58). "5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 × 8" is a memorable chant.

Use what you know

Split 7 into 5 and 2. For 7 × 6: 5 sixes are 30 and 2 sixes are 12, together 42. The pictures in the practice show exactly this.

Where you meet the 7s

  • Days in a week: 3 weeks are 21 days.
  • 8 weeks are 7 × 8 = 56 days.
  • Colors in a rainbow: 4 rainbows have 28 colors.

Patterns and tricks

  • 7 × 6 is 5 × 6 and 2 × 6 put together: 30 + 12 = 42.
  • Turn-around facts help: you may already know 7 × 2, 7 × 5 and 7 × 10 from other tables.

Divide by 7

Every multiplication fact has a division fact in its family: if 7 × 4 = 28, then 28 ÷ 7 = 4.

  1. 7 ÷ 71
  2. 14 ÷ 72
  3. 21 ÷ 73
  4. 28 ÷ 74
  5. 35 ÷ 75
  6. 42 ÷ 76
  7. 49 ÷ 77
  8. 56 ÷ 78
  9. 63 ÷ 79
  10. 70 ÷ 710
  11. 77 ÷ 711
  12. 84 ÷ 712
