What's on this sheet

Halve first, then divide by 3. 42 ÷ 6 becomes 42 ÷ 2 = 21, then 21 ÷ 3 = 7. Both halves of that are moves a child already owns by the time the sixes arrive, which is why this table is far less work than its position in the grid suggests.

Why this sheet works

The fact family is the other route and the faster one once the times table is secure: 54 ÷ 6 = 9 because 6 × 9 = 54. Locking a page to the divisor 6 is what turns the two-step method into the one-step recall.
