Primary 3 Multiplication Tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9 study guide: the whole chapter, step by step
About this subtopic
This mixed practice stop brings together 2 topics from Primary 3 Multiplication Tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9: The 6, 7, 8 and 9 tables, Related division facts. Nothing on the question says which topic it comes from, so choosing the method is part of the skill.

For parents
How should a child tackle P3 multiplication tables mixed practice questions?
This page mixes both parts of the Primary 3 tables chapter: building and recalling the tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9, and using those facts to divide.
What your child learns here
This page mixes both parts of the Primary 3 tables chapter: building and recalling the tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9, and using those facts to divide. Each question needs your child to work out which number is missing, the total, the number of groups or the size of each group, before picking a fact.
- Recall the facts of the 6, 7, 8 and 9 tables, and rebuild a forgotten one from a neighbour.
- See one more group or one fewer group as a change of a whole group, not of 1.
- Use a multiplication fact to find the number of groups or the number in each group.
- Read times as many as equal groups.
- Solve short equal-groups word problems where the groups or their size change partway through.
Does the answer make sense?
In a 'times as many' question the bigger amount is several groups of the smaller one, so your child should find the small chart's stars number fewer than 72. Using one group fewer, as in 5 times 9 after 6 times 9, should lower the answer by exactly 9.
How to practise these questions
This set mixes the chapter's question types, recalling the four tables and using their related division facts. The Basic questions ask for single facts, and the Intermediate questions put them into equal groups stories. The Challenge questions ask your child to compare equal totals, test which numbers of groups share objects equally, or follow a missing number through a chain. When a question in this tables set stalls, play the solution film for it and try again later from Revision.
Questions parents ask
What does the P3 multiplication tables chapter cover? It covers the MOE Primary 3 outcomes on the multiplication tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9, multiplying and dividing within the tables, and mental calculation within the tables. The chapter has two subtopics, building the tables and related division facts, plus this mixed set.
My child knows the tables but mixes up the division questions. What helps? Ask which number in the story is missing: the total, the number of groups, or the size of each group. Once that is clear, the right table fact follows.
How often should my P3 child practise the tables? A few minutes most days keeps the facts fresh. Mixing a multiplication with its related division in the same session helps your child see them as one fact.
Which of the 6, 7, 8 and 9 tables is hardest? Many children find the 7 times table the slowest to settle, because it has fewest easy patterns. The facts already known from the 2, 3, 4 and 5 tables help: 7 times 4 is the same as 4 times 7. Once the swapped facts are counted, only a handful of new facts remain to learn.
