STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES

Example 1: 4 x 8 = ?

To solve this, you can think of it as four groups of eight. If you add 8 + 8 + 8 + 8, you get 32. Therefore, 4 x 8 = 32. Understanding that multiplication is repeated addition helps bridge the gap for beginners.

Example 2: 7 x 8 = ?

A helpful trick for multiplying by 8 is to double the number three times. Double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28, and double 28 is 56. Thus, 7 x 8 = 56. This "double-double-double" method is a great mental math strategy.

Example 3: 9 x 8 = ?

Many students use the "9s trick" or simply know that 10 x 8 is 80. Subtract one group of 8 from 80 (80 - 8) to find the answer: 72. So, 9 x 8 = 72.

TEACHER & PARENT TIPS

When introducing the 8 times table, encourage students to look for patterns. For instance, all products of 8 are even numbers. To keep practice engaging, use this sheet as a "Mad Minute" challenge where students try to complete as many as possible in 60 seconds. Consistency is key, so revisit these facts regularly until mastery is achieved. If a student struggles, have them skip-count by 8s out loud to build rhythm and familiarity with the sequence.
