Helping at home
In 3rd grade, after the 2s, 5s and 10s, children learn the 3, 4 and 6 tables. These have handy links: 4 is double 2, so 4 × 7 is double 2 × 7 (14 + 14 = 28), and 6 is double 3, so 6 × 7 is double 3 × 7 (21 + 21 = 42).
The usual slip is a fact that is close but not right, like 6 × 7 = 48. Counting up by 6s is slow and easy to miss by one group.
One way to help at home: use doubling. Ask, "What is 3 × 8? Now double it." Arrays help show why: draw 6 rows of 7 dots and split it into two groups of 3 rows. Order does not matter, so 3 × 9 is the same fact as 9 × 3. Practice a few facts a day rather than a whole table at once.
