9 X Table I will show you how you can use your hands to help you with your 9X table

1 X 9 = 9 Bend your thumb for 1 X 9. Each finger to the right of the bent finger is worth 1. There are 9 units (1’s) to the right, so 1 X 9 = 9

2 X 9 = 18 Bend your second finger from the left for 2 X 9. Remember – all fingers to the right are worth 1. All fingers to the left are worth 10. So, 10 + 8 = 18. 2 X 9 = 18

3 X 9 = 27 Bend your 3rd finger for 3 X 9. Remember – 10’s to the left, 1’s to the right. 2 tens + 7 ones = 20 + 7 = 27. 3 X 9 = 27

4 X 9 = ? Remember – bend your 4th finger from the left for 4 X 9. How many tens to the left? How many 1’s to the right? What is the answer? 4 X 9 = ?

4 X 9 = 36 Did you get the right answer? 3 tens to the left = 30 6 ones to the right = 6 30 + 6 = 36 4 X 9 = 36

5 X 9 = ? You try! 5 x 9 = ?

5 X 9 = 45

6 X 9 = ? Don’t forget – bend your 6th finger for 6X9. 3 2 4 1 5 6

6 X 9 = 54 5 tens 4 ones 50 + 4 = 54 Were you right? 54

7 X 9 = 63 7 6 x 10 = 60 3 x 1 = 3 60 + 3 = 63

8 X 9 = 72

9 X 9 = ?

That’s right! 9 X 9 = 81 80 + 1 = 81

10 X 9 = ? That’s a hard one!

What are your hands doing now? 10 X 9 = 90 What are your hands doing now?

Now you can do your 9 times table anywhere!
