Nine Times Table Tips

Age Range: 7 to 11
A primary school classmate taught me this trick to remember the multiplication table of 9 (only works for 1x9 to 10x9):
1. Display your fingers in front of you. Like this -> \!!!/ \!!!/
2. For 1x9, close the 1st finger from the left. You should see 9 fingers
after the closed one
-> _|||/ \|||/
3. For 2x9, close the 2nd finger from the left. You should see 1 finger before
the closed one, and 8 fingers after the closed one, which means 18. -> \_||/
\|||/
4. For 3x9, close the 3rd finger from the left. You should see 2 fingers
before the closed one, and 7 fingers after the closed one, which means 27.
-> \|_|/ \|||/
5. Continue the pattern for 4x9 up to 9x9.
6. For 10x9, close the last finger on the right. You should see 9 fingers
before the closed one, and 0 fingers after the closed one, which means 90.
-> \|||/ \|||_
Hope this helps. =)
