6 Times Table

The 6× table is the first 'hard' table for most kids. It builds on the 3× table (6 is just 3 doubled) and sets up the 12× table.

Tricks for the 6 Times Table

  • Double the 3× table: 3 × 7 = 21, so 6 × 7 = 42.
  • Every even number times 6 ends in the same digit as the number (6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 8 = 48).
  • 6 × 6 = 36 is a friendly anchor fact — remember it and you can derive 6 × 5 and 6 × 7 from there.
6 × 5

How to use the 6 Times Table tool

  1. Start in flashcard mode

    Open the 6× times table tool in flashcard mode. Don't set a timer yet — focus on accuracy.

  2. Say the answer aloud

    Before clicking to reveal, say the answer out loud. This recruits both visual and verbal memory and speeds up recall.

  3. Switch to drill when fluent

    Once your child can answer each card in about 3 seconds, switch to drill mode for a 60-second challenge.

  4. Track their best score

    Retry the drill and aim to beat last session's score. Kids love the progression, and the repetition cements the facts.
