Apparently, nines are the hardest to grasp for primary school children. If only they’d learned how to cheat like me, says Adrian Chiles

    The nine timestable was one of the easier ones for me to learn as a child because I recognized the pattern in the numbers:

    • 09
    • 18
    • 27
    • 36
    • 45
    • 54
    • 63
    • 72
    • 81
    • 90

    First row of digits go 0123456789 while the second row goes 9876543210. Idk, I thought it was cool that they did that.

    The timestables that I had the most difficulty with were 7 and 8.

      8 isn’t bad if you do x2 x2 x2. It sounds like a lot of steps but it’s fast.

      For 7… Just use the trick for the other number 😋
