Practise the 8 times table
Three practice questions first, then all twelve facts in a random order. Each one has six seconds and a three-second pause before the next, the same pace as the multiplication tables check in Year 4. Type the answer or tap the keypad.

Patterns that help
Every answer is even, and the last digits go 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and then repeat. Eight times a number is double, double and double again.
Facts worth extra practice: 8 × 6 = 48, 8 × 7 = 56 and 8 × 12 = 96.
If a fact goes missing: Double three times. For 8 × 7: double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28, and double 28 is 56.
See the multiples of 8 shaded on a hundred square, with a quick way to tell whether a number is one.
The 8 times table is one of the five (6, 7, 8, 9 and 12) that the multiplication tables check gives more weight to, so it is worth extra practice before June of Year 4.
