1. 7 × 8 = _____

2. 9 × 6 = _____

3. 8 × 9 = _____

4. 6 × 7 = _____

5. 9 × 9 = _____

🔍 Part 2: Pattern Investigation

6. Look at the 9 times table pattern. Fill in the missing products:

9 × 1 = _____ 9 × 2 = _____ 9 × 3 = _____ 9 × 4 = _____

9 × 5 = _____ 9 × 6 = _____ 9 × 7 = _____ 9 × 8 = _____

7. What pattern do you notice in the digits of the 9 times table?

8. Circle the property that shows 7 × 8 = 8 × 7:

Associative property

Commutative property

Distributive property

Identity property

🧠 Part 3: Multiplication Strategies

9. Use the distributive property to solve 7 × 8. Break it down as 7 × (5 + 3):

7 × 8 = 7 × (5 + 3) = (7 × _____) + (7 × _____) = _____ + _____ = _____

10. Show how to solve 6 × 9 using skip counting on the number line below:

11. Which strategies can help you remember difficult multiplication facts? Check all that apply:

Breaking numbers into smaller parts

Skip counting

Using arrays or groups

Memorising without understanding

Using known facts to find unknown ones

📊 Part 4: Arrays and Visual Patterns

12. Draw an array to show 4 × 6:

13. What multiplication fact does this array represent? _____ × _____ = _____

If you rotate the array, what other multiplication fact could it show? _____ × _____ = _____

14. Match each multiplication strategy with its example:

1. Doubling

2. Skip counting

3. Breaking apart

4. Using 10s

A. 8 × 7 = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2)

B. 6 × 4 = 6, 12, 18, 24

C. 8 × 6 = 2 × (4 × 6)

D. 9 × 8 = (10 × 8) - (1 × 8)
