The 7 Times Table involves multiplying by 7 or adding 7 repeatedly. It's tricky due to the prime nature of 7, where the pattern will not repeat untill 10 × 7
Here is the 7 times table:
1 × 7 = 7
2 × 7 = 14
3 × 7 = 21
4 × 7 = 28
5 × 7 = 35
6 × 7 = 42
7 × 7 = 49
8 × 7 = 56
9 × 7 = 63
10 × 7 = 70
More than 70:
11 × 7 = 77
12 × 7 = 84
Repeated Addition[]
7 = 7
7 + 7 = 14
7 + 7 + 7 = 21
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 28
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 35
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 42
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 49
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 56
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 63
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 70
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 77
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 84
Tips & Tricks[]
- You can break 7 into 5 + 2 (6 × 7 = 6 × 5 (30) + 6 × 2 (12) = 30 + 12 = 42) or 4 + 3 (9 × 7 = 9 × 4 (36) + 9 × 3 (27) = 36 + 27 = 63)
- Draw a 3 × 3 grid. Write 0, 2, 4 in the 1st column (left), 1, 3, 5 in the 2nd column, & 2, 4, 6 in the 3rd column. Write 7, 8, 9 in the 1st column behind 0, 2, 4. Then write 4, 5, 6 in the 2nd column behind 1, 3, 5, & write 1, 2, 3 in the 3rd column behind 2, 4, 6
- Use the mirror trick for 8 × 7 (5, 6, 7, 8). 8 × 7 = 56
- Review the commutative property quickly (9 × 7 = 7 × 9 = 63)
- Use songs & rhymes to memorize:
Examples of Rhymes:[]
- 7 × 7 has 4 straight lines, which will = (equal) 49
- 9 & 7 climb a tree. 9 × 7 = 63
- 12 × 7, clean the floor. 12 × 7 = 84
