Times tables (age 7+)
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4, and 8 multiplication tables
Lesson
Set out your lesson
Use related 3, 4 and 8 facts, then distinguish recall from calculation.
Before teaching
Ask for an example of one prerequisite idea; revisit if needed. Historical graph coverage does not establish this learner’s readiness.

Patterns in the multiplication table
Before you open · source notes
Table patterns support times-table fluency. Not every multi-digit written product.
Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.
Before you openAsk the learner to point out one pattern in a times-table row or column and use it for a fact.

Source, access and review notes
Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

“Can your child quickly recall facts from the 3, 4, and 8 times tables — like '8 × 7 = 56' or '36 ÷ 4 = 9' — without having to work them out each time?”
