Learn Multiplication by 8
The 8 times table is easy if you know the 4s! Just double every 4 times table answer. Or think of octopuses with 8 legs each! 🐙
8 × 1 = 8
8 × 2 = 16
8 × 3 = 24
8 × 4 = 32
8 × 5 = 40
8 × 6 = 48
8 × 7 = 56
8 × 8 = 64
8 × 9 = 72
8 × 10 = 80
8 × 11 = 88
8 × 12 = 96
Double the 4 times table
Think of octopuses with 8 legs
Count by 8s: 8, 16, 24, 32...
The 8 times table shows multiplication by 8. Here's the magic trick: if you already know the 4 times table, you can instantly know the 8s by doubling! Since 8 = 4 × 2, just take any 4 times table answer and double it. For example: 4 × 5 = 20, so 8 × 5 = 40 (double of 20).
8 = 4 × 2, so multiply by 4 first, then double the answer!
Another amazing way: Double, then double again, then double one more time!
If you've mastered the 4 times table, the 8 times table is a piece of cake! Just double every answer. This connection makes learning twice as fast. And here's a bonus: once you know 8s, you can learn 16s the same way (just double the 8s). It's like unlocking a whole chain of multiplication tables!
