Part A: In order Multiply. Look for the pattern as you go.

  1. 7 × 1 = 7
  2. 7 × 2 = 14
  3. 7 × 3 = 21
  4. 7 × 4 = 28
  5. 7 × 5 = 35
  6. 7 × 6 = 42
  7. 7 × 7 = 49
  8. 7 × 8 = 56
  9. 7 × 9 = 63
  10. 7 × 10 = 70
  11. 7 × 11 = 77
  12. 7 × 12 = 84

Part B: Mixed up Multiply. The facts are out of order and some are flipped.

  1. 7 × 5 = 35
  2. 7 × 12 = 84
  3. 7 × 10 = 70
  4. 4 × 7 = 28
  5. 7 × 8 = 56
  6. 0 × 7 = 0
  7. 7 × 6 = 42
  8. 7 × 0 = 0
  9. 7 × 3 = 21
  10. 6 × 7 = 42
  11. 7 × 1 = 7
  12. 7 × 9 = 63

Part C: Missing factor Write the number that makes each fact true.

  1. 7 × 7 = 49
  2. 7 × 12 = 84
  3. 7 × 4 = 28
  4. 7 × 11 = 77
  5. 7 × 3 = 21
  6. 7 × 6 = 42

Tips for teachers and parents

  • Count what is really new. If a student knows the 1s to 6s and the 10s, the turnaround facts cover most of the 7s. The new facts are 7 × 7, 7 × 8 and 7 × 9.
  • Use "5 groups plus 2 groups." 7 × 8 is 5 × 8 = 40 plus 2 × 8 = 16, which makes 56.
  • Remember 7 × 8 with the counting order 5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 × 8.
  • Take Part C slowly. Missing-factor problems with 7 are the start of dividing by 7.

Common mistakes

  • Writing 7 × 8 = 54 or 7 × 7 = 48. Those numbers belong to the 6s (6 × 9 and 6 × 8). Check with 5 groups plus 2 groups.
  • Treating the flipped facts in Part B as new. 8 × 7 is the same fact as 7 × 8.

What to practice next

Move to the 8 times table next, or use the mixed review of all tables from 1 to 12 to keep earlier facts fresh.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the 7 times table so hard?

Its answers do not follow an easy pattern like the 5s or 9s. The good news is that only a few 7s facts are new once the other tables are known.

What is the trick for 7 × 8?

Say 5, 6, 7, 8 in order: 56 = 7 × 8.

What grade learns the 7 times table?

Usually grade 3, where students are expected to know all products of two one-digit numbers by the end of the year.
