Tips to Help Children Memorize the 8 Times Table

Units Place Pattern

• The last digits follow this sequence: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 .
• After reaching 0, the sequence starts again: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 .

• 8 × 1 = 8 (Last digit: 8)
• 8 × 2 = 16 (Last digit: 6)
• 8 × 3 = 24 (Last digit: 4)
• 8 × 4 = 32 (Last digit: 2)
• 8 × 5 = 40 (Last digit: 0)
• 8 × 6 = 48 (Last digit: 8)
• 8 × 7 = 56 (Last digit: 6)
• 8 × 8 = 64 (Last digit: 4)
• 8 × 9 = 72 (Last digit: 2)
• 8 × 10 = 80 (Last digit: 0)

Skip Counting by 8

• 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80

Doubling the 4 Times Table

• 4 × 3 = 12 → Double it: 8 × 3 = 24
• 4 × 5 = 20 → Double it: 8 × 5 = 40

Use Real-Life Examples

• "If each friend gets 8 candies, how many candies will 4 friends get?" (8 × 4 = 32)
