Multiplying by 9

I love the 9x table because there are so many hints to help you to solve the questions. Things like when you hold your hands out in front of you, put the finger related to the number you are multiplying by down, and your answer is there in front of you, or by writing it down you can check your answers as they all line up and go up by 1, down by 1 each time. Or the quick check that you can do: 7x9 =63 6+3 =9. Your answer must be right! So simple. Or by knowing that 4x9, take the 4 and subtract 1 gives us 3. 3+what gives us 9. The answer is 6. So, 4x9=36I hope this podcast helps to explain it. We also have a book on Amazon that includes many of the games that we use in our lessons so that you too can use them to practice with your children at home.Interested?Learn more at: Learn The Times Tables - The Clara James Way: Putting confidence and smiles into learning the times tables: Amazon.co.uk: Strachan, Ms Dawn, Sequin, Hannah: 9798345478455: BooksHave a great week and I hope this helps
