6 Times Table

6 × 1 to 6 × 12, the tricks that make it stick, and a quick test.

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

Tricks for the 6 times table

Do 5 lots, then add one more: 6 × 7 = 35 + 7 = 42.

An even number times 6 ends in the same digit: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48.
The 6s are the 3s doubled: 3 × 7 = 21, so 6 × 7 = 42.
6 × 8 = 48 and 6 × 9 = 54 are the classic slips: 6 × 8 often comes back as 42 or 56, and 6 × 9 as 56.
