8 times table practice

Twelve questions covering the full 8 times table, from 1 × 8 to 12 × 8, against a 60-second target.

Doubling three times reaches any fact in this table: for 8 × 6, take 6 to 12, then 24, then 48. Children already fluent in the 4s only need one more double, which makes the 4s the natural stepping stone.

Parent questions

When is the 8 times table taught?: Year 3 in England, together with the 3s and 4s, ahead of the full recall of all tables expected by the end of Year 4.
What is the doubling method for the 8s?: Double the number three times over. For 8 × 7: 7 becomes 14, then 28, then 56. It is slower than recall but reliable while the facts are still bedding in.
Is the 8 times table important for the Year 4 check?: Yes. The 8s sit among the tables sampled most heavily in the Multiplication Tables Check, alongside the 6s, 7s, 9s and 12s.
Is there anything memorable about 8 × 8?: It makes 64 — the number of squares on a chessboard, which is a picture children tend to remember. Eight names plenty of things it belongs to as well: an octagon has eight sides, an octopus eight arms, and a byte is eight bits.
