Do kids not get taught the 9 x “trick”?
Why 9 x 6 sums up our trouble with times tables
A study of nearly 250 million answers found clusters of mistakes for sixes, sevens, eights and nines, as Year 4 pupils prepare for a statutory test in June
Behind the paywall 9 x 6, 9 x 7 and 9 x 3 are in the most frequent incorrect answers. How is this possible?
If people don’t spot the 9 x 6 means the answer starts with 5 and the sum of the answer will equal 9, why isn’t it pointed out? Surely 9 is the easiest times table after 10, 5 and 2??
