- There is no easy trick for finding out if a number is in the 7 times table. But there is a way of remembering the tricky sum 7 x 8:

7 x 8 = 56. Just remember - 5,6,7,8.

- Try reversing the sum if you are having problems. 7 x 5 is the same as 5 x 7: 35.

- You can make rectangular patterns on a piece of paper to help you. Have a look at this one - 4 rows of 7 which is the same as the sum 4 x 7.
