A FACT STRATEGY

The 6 times table.

Use five groups and one more.

6 times table · 1–12
Fact	Product
6 × 1	6
6 × 2	12
6 × 3	18
6 × 4	24
6 × 5	30
6 × 6	36
6 × 7	42
6 × 8	48
6 × 9	54
6 × 10	60
6 × 11	66
6 × 12	72

ONE WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT

Use five groups and one more.

6 × 8 = 5 × 8 + 8 = 40 + 8 = 48. Separate a six-row array into five rows and one row.

Try this together

Start with a 5s fact and explain the extra group.

Say the complete fact, draw or build its groups, then try it again without the picture. It is fine to return to a known fact when an answer feels uncertain.
