The whole 8 times table
- 1 × 8 = 8
- 2 × 8 = 16
- 3 × 8 = 24
- 4 × 8 = 32
- 5 × 8 = 40
- 6 × 8 = 48
- 7 × 8 = 56
- 8 × 8 = 64
- 9 × 8 = 72
- 10 × 8 = 80
The trick: double, double, double
The 8 times table is doubling three times: for 3 × 8 that is 3, 6, 12, 24. Each answer is double the 4 times table.
- 3 × 8? Take 3.
- Double it: 6.
- Double again: 12!
- And again: 24!
