9 X TableI will show you how you can use your hands to help you with your

9X table

1 X 9 = 9

• Bend your thumb for 1 X 9. Each finger to the right of the bent finger is worth 1. There are 9 units (1’s) to the right, so 1 X 9 = 9

2 X 9 = 18

• Bend your second finger from the left for 2 X 9. Remember – all fingers to the right are worth 1. All fingers to the left are worth 10. So, 10 + 8 = 18. 2 X 9 = 18

3 X 9 = 27

• Bend your 3rd finger for 3 X 9. Remember – 10’s to the left, 1’s to the right. 2 tens + 7 ones = 20 + 7 = 27. 3 X 9 = 27

4 X 9 = ?

• Remember – bend your 4th finger from the left for 4 X 9.

• How many tens to the left?

• How many 1’s to the right?

• What is the answer?

• 4 X 9 = ?

4 X 9 = 36

• Did you get the right answer?

• 3 tens to the left = 30

• 6 ones to the right = 6

• 30 + 6 = 36

• 4 X 9 = 36

5 X 9 = ?

•You try!

•5 x 9 = ?

5 X 9 = 45

6 X 9 = ?

• Don’t forget – bend your 6th finger for 6X9.

6 X 9 = 54

• 5 tens

• 4 ones

7 X 9 = 63

6 x 10 = 60

3 x 1 = 3

60 + 3 = 63

8 X 9 = 72

9 X 9 = ?

That’s right!

9 X 9 = 81

80 + 1 = 81

10 X 9 = ?

That’s a hard one!

10 X 9 = 90
