Summary of how to learn the Multiplication table

Know that `3 times 6` is the same as `6 times 3`

`times 2 =`   Double it
     
`times 3 =`   Treble it
     
`times 4 =`   Double it and double the result
     
`times 5 =`   Multiply by 10 and half it
     
`times 6 =`   Don't need anything but
     
    `6xx6=` see multiply by itself mnemonic `=36`
     
    `7xx6=6xx7` which is `6xx6=36` then `36+6=42`
     
    `8xx6=` see mnemonic for this on `6` times table
     
`times 7 =`   Don't need anything but
     
    `7xx7=` see multiply by itself mnemonic `=49`
     
    `8xx7` which is `7xx7=49` then `49+7=56`
     
`times 8 =`   Don't need anything but
     
    `8xx8=` see multiply by itself mnemonic `=64`
     
`times 9 =`   Use your hands
     
`times 10 =`   Just put a zero on the end
     
`times 11 =`   Repeat the multiplier (up to 9 x 11)
     
`times 12 =`   Multiply by 10 and add double the number
     

See mnemonic pictures in the next section for the following:

`3times3, 4times4, 5times5, 6times6, 7times7, 8times8, 9times9, 10times10, 11times11, 12times12`
