The six times table has two easy routes in, and most children only ever meet the hard one. These free printable worksheets cover 6 × 1 through 6 × 10 and lean on the fives a child already knows.

The first route is five plus one more group. 7 × 6 is 7 × 5 = 35 with one more seven added: 42. The fives are usually the most secure table a child owns, so almost every six fact is one small addition away from something already automatic. This is the same reasoning that will later handle the sevens, so it is worth building the habit here where the fives are strong.
The second route is double the threes. 6 × 8 is 3 × 8 = 24 doubled, which is 48. A child who has just finished the three times table gets the sixes at half price, and seeing that two completely different strategies land on the same answer is one of the more convincing things that happens in early multiplication.
There is also less to learn than the grid suggests. By the time a child reaches the sixes, commutativity has already handed them 6 × 2, 6 × 3, 6 × 4, and 6 × 5 from the tables below, and 6 × 10 is free. The genuinely new facts are 6 × 6, 6 × 7, 6 × 8, and 6 × 9 — four of them. Print with the answer key or reopen the sheet from its picnic basket code.
