three, four, five and ten times tables.

Now they want to learn their sixes.

"I don't think it's going to be too hard," said Sam.

"Of course we can do it," Sue agreed. "We need to make

sure we can count by sixes first of all."

They counted carefully by sixes. This is how they went:

Six, twelve, eighteen, twenty four, thirty,

Thirty six, forty two, forty eight,

Fifty four and sixty!

Here are the numerals:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 and 60!

"I'm going to make a chart," Sue said. "It'll have lots of sixes on it."

This is what she did:

"Oh, yuck!" said Sam. "I don't want cats. I'm going to do skulls."

So he did. This is his chart:

They haven't put the answers in!

Can you go back and do that for Sam and Sue?

(Yes, you may download all this and print it out.)

Use one colour for Sue's chart and another

colour for Sam's chart. Trace over the numerals they have done

and put the answers in too.

You can check that you have done it all right.

Here is the Six Times Table:

1 x 6 = 6
2 x 6 = 12
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30
6 x 6 = 36
7 x 6 = 42
8 x 6 = 48
9 x 6 = 54
10 x 6 = 60


Sam and Sue put in all the answers and then they looked at the

numerals they had written.

"They are all even numbers," Sam said.

"And there is a pattern too!" cried Sue.

"It goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0, 6, 2, 8, 4, 0

"I can do eleven sixes and twelve sixes too," Sam boasted.

"Eleven sixes are sixty six and twelve sixes are - "

"Seventy two!" shouted Sue.

Here are some sixes for you to try.

Be careful because they are all jumbled up.

can turn the numbers round and it still means the same.

7 x 6 = 42 and 6 x 7 = 42 They are the same.

8 x 6 = 48 and 6 x 8 = 48 They are the same.

9 x 6 = 54 and 6 x 9 = 54 They are the same.

10 x 6 = 60 and 6 x 10 = 60 They are the same.

So you also know six sevens, six eights, six nines and six tens.
