- [Narrator] We're told here
is a partially completed
-
multiplication table, so we can see
-
the one times tables, then the twos,
-
threes, fours goes all the way to fives,
-
and they want us to solve six times seven.
-
And they tell us, use the five facts.
-
So that's the ones highlighted in purple
-
as a stepping stone, take five groups
-
and add one more group.
-
So pause this video and have a go at this
-
before we do this together.
-
All right, so we're trying to figure out
-
what six times seven is.
-
So six times seven
would be right over here
-
on our multiplication table
and they give us a nice hint.
-
Use the five facts as a stepping stone.
-
Take five groups and add one more group.
-
So what do you mean by that?
-
Well, if you look at this right over here,
-
they tell us that five times seven is 35,
-
five times seven is equal to 35.
-
And if you look at this
column here, you can see
-
that you can view this as
adding seven every time.
-
Seven times one is seven,
seven times two is 14.
-
Seven times three is 21.
-
Seven times four is 28,
seven times five is 35.
-
So every time we're just adding,
-
every time we're just adding seven
-
when you go down this column,
so if you wanna figure out
-
what six times seven is
-
or what seven times six is, you just have
-
to add seven more right over here.
-
So 35 plus seven, we
could do that in our head,
-
or we could just write it out over here.
-
Five plus seven is 12,
-
and then 10 plus 30 is 40.
-
We get 42.
-
So six times seven is equal to 42.
