The practice needs JavaScript. The whole table and its trick are below.
The whole 9 times table
- 1 × 9 = 9
- 2 × 9 = 18
- 3 × 9 = 27
- 4 × 9 = 36
- 5 × 9 = 45
- 6 × 9 = 54
- 7 × 9 = 63
- 8 × 9 = 72
- 9 × 9 = 81
- 10 × 9 = 90
The trick: ×10, minus one
The 9 times table is the 10 times table minus one group: 6 × 9 is 60 minus 6, which is 54. The digits of every answer also add up to 9.
- 6 × 9? First 6 × 10 = 60.
- Take one 6 away: 54!
