Fascinating Fact:

An octopus has 8 arms, so 5 octopuses have 8 × 5 = 40 arms.

In KS2 Times Tables, the 8 times table helps pupils use doubling and known facts to work efficiently. It links to 2 and 4 times tables, supports mental methods, and strengthens inverse division facts.

  • Double: To add a number to itself, such as 9 + 9, which can help you build 8 × facts.
  • Multiple: A number made by multiplying, such as 64 being a multiple of 8.
  • Inverse: The opposite operation that undoes something, such as division undoing multiplication.
