Meet Momo the Multiply Star and learn how multiplying by 8 helps us count in groups of 8. We will read the full table, watch each fact appear, practise in order, practise in mixed order, and then win a certificate.
Look at the whole table first. This is our map.
Big idea: when we multiply by 8, we count in 8s.
So if we see 8 × 4, we think: “8, 16, 24, 32.” The answer is 32.
Read each row slowly. Point with your finger if that helps. We want your eyes, ears, and brain to work together.
Read each line: 8 times something equals a bigger count in 8s.
We will show each fact one part at a time.
On this page, the fact appears like this:
8 → × → 1 → = → 8
After the answer appears, read the whole sentence aloud:
8 times one equals 8.
Start with 8 × 1 and go all the way to 8 × 12.
Now it is your turn.
Each question gives you 3 choices. Pick the correct answer, then move to the next one.
Because these are in order, you can notice the pattern: the answers keep growing by 8 each time.
Now the facts jump around. Let’s see if you still know them.
This time, the questions are not in order.
You might see 8 × 4, then 8 × 9, then 8 × 2.
That is how we check if you really know the rule, not just the order.
Let’s lock the pattern into your memory.
Here is the whole trick in one sentence:
When you multiply by 8, count in 8s.
If the number is 8, then 8 × 8 = 64.
If the number is 12, then 8 × 12 = 96.
= 24
= 48
= 72
= 96
Listen to the animal coach before you begin.
Pip the Penguin has one last question for you.
Do you feel confident? Can you say the table of 8 by heart?
If yes, press the thumbs up button and move on to the final quiz.
If not, that is okay. Go back, practise more and more, and then come back when you feel ready.
