A timed sheet on 6s

The 6 times table, 6 × 0 through 6 × 12. Every problem on the sheet is drawn from that set and nothing outside it.

Choose 20, 50 or 100 problems and a limit of 1, 2 or 5 minutes, then print the sheet with its answer key on page two, or start the timer and type into the same grid. The problems are drawn again every time the page loads, so a second sheet is not a copy of the first. How the counts and limits work is on its own page, along with what a timed test does and does not measure.

Thirteen rows, with the answers

Where 6s goes wrong

The 6s hide a visible rule that works only on even factors — 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48, where the answer ends in the same digit as the factor. Odd factors get no such help, which is why 6 × 7 = 42 is the single most-missed cell in this table. Doubling the matching 3s fact is the way around it.

Three that come up

Is there a pattern in the 6 times table?
For even factors the answer ends in the same digit as the factor: 6 × 2 = 12, 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48. Odd factors break the pattern.
Which 6s fact is hardest?
6 × 7 = 42. It sits outside the even-digit pattern and it is also the hardest fact in the 7s.
Can I get the 6s from the 3s?
Yes. Double the matching 3s fact — 3 × 8 = 24, so 6 × 8 = 48.
