x 6

I've been learning to skip count in six and I was having a bit of trouble so I worked with the blocks and made the numbers.
I made it in a two rows so that the pattern was easy to see.
6,12,18,24,30
36,42,48,54,60
Once you get to 30 you just start over again but adding 30.
I redid the blocks so that I only used 2, 6 and 10 blocks. This helps me to see the 6+2=8 (on 6x3=18 because 6x2=12 is very easy for me). And when you look at 6x4=24, it's just double 6x2=12.

I then learnt the 6 times table. There is an easy way to times the even numbers. You half the number for the ten and then use the number for the unit. Mum wrote it on the board for me and wrote Even = Easy and it sure is. She says this has even helped her to learn her 6 times table because she never knew it.

This is also how I find the 5 times table easy for even numbers. All you do is half the number and add a zero.

5x8=40 (because 10x8=80 but 5 is half of 10 so you just half the answer).
