6 Times Table
Print a 6 times table worksheet with filled and blank versions for practicing 6s through doubles, 3s, and written recall.
Connect 6s to 3s and Doubles
Multiplying by 6 is the same as multiplying by 3 and then doubling the answer. If a child knows 3 x 8 = 24, they can double 24 to solve 6 x 8 = 48.
Simple Practice Plan for 6s
Begin with the filled chart, then drill five mixed facts at a time instead of always going in order. Short mixed practice helps students answer 6 x 7 or 6 x 9 without relying only on skip-counting.
Using the Blank Worksheet
Have the student fill in the empty chart from memory, check against the filled version, and circle any mistakes. Repeating the same blank sheet later shows which facts are becoming automatic.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good shortcut for the 6 times table?
Use the 3s and double the product. For example, 3 x 7 is 21, so 6 x 7 is 42.
How should I use the filled and blank 6 times table together?
Use the filled version for review, then switch to the blank worksheet for recall. After checking, spend the next session only on the missed facts.
