Tricks for the 3 times table

Little tricks that make the facts stick.

Add the digits

The digits of each answer add up to 3, 6 or 9: 12 → 1+2 = 3, 15 → 6, 18 → 9, and the pattern repeats.

Double and add one more

3 × 6 = double 6 (12) + 6 = 18.

Count in 3s

3, 6, 9, 12, 15 … say it like a rhythm.
