Have a look at these timesavers.
The numbers in the 8 × table are always even. This means they can be divided by 2 without
remainder. If it’s an
odd
number then it is not in the 8 × table!
Have a look at the 8 × table again. The unit
digits have a regular pattern - they
go down in
2s
.
Try reversing the order if you’re having
problems.
8 × 4 is the same as 4 × 8 (=
32
) so you can use
the
4 × table if you know it better.
You can make rectangular patterns on a piece of paper to help you.
Have a look at this one: 3 rows of 8 which is the same as
3 × 8.
Count them up - there are 24. It is
the same as 8 × 3
- 8
rows of 3.
If you want to multiply by 8 you can double a number 3 times.
For example: 8 × 6:
double 6 = 12
double 12 = 24
double 24 = 48
8 × 6 = 48
