Where your child meets this in real life: Calculating costs for multiple items, area, or grouping problems
SEAGReady breaks times tables 2-10 into 3 steps, taught in order so each skill builds on the last.
Rapidly recall multiplication facts for 2×, 5×, and 10× tables using clear patterns
Recall multiplication facts for 3×, 4×, 6×, and 9× tables by deriving from known facts
Fluently recall all multiplication facts including 7× and 8× tables and difficult cross-products
Three free sample questions from our times tables 2-10 course. Every question comes with a full explanation, and hints that guide without giving the answer away.
Sean has 6 packets of stickers. Each packet has 5 stickers in it. How many stickers does Sean have altogether?
Answer: C. 30 stickers
Sean has 6 packets with 5 stickers each. Multiples of 5 always end in 5 or 0. Count in 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 The 6th multiple of 5 is 30. 6 x 5 = 30 stickers
Stuck? Start here: This is a 5 times table problem. What pattern do multiples of 5 follow?
Oisin is buying packs of football cards from a shop in Bangor. Each pack costs 4 pounds. He wants to buy 7 packs. How much will he spend?
Answer: C. 28 pounds
Oisin wants 7 packs at 4 pounds each. Use doubling: the 4 times table is double the 2 times table. 7 x 2 = 14 Double 14: 14 x 2 = 28 7 x 4 = 28 pounds
Stuck? Start here: This is 7 x 4. The 4 times table is double the 2 times table.
Roisin is arranging chairs for a school play. She needs 7 rows with 8 chairs in each row. How many chairs does she need altogether?
Answer: D. 56 chairs
Roisin needs 7 rows of 8 chairs. Start from a known fact: 7 x 7 = 49 Add one more group of 7: 49 + 7 = 56 7 x 8 = 56 chairs Tip: 5, 6, 7, 8 spells out 56 = 7 x 8!
Stuck? Start here: This is 7 x 8. Start from a fact you know well, like 7 x 7.
This is the exact interactive worked example your child sees in SEAGReady. Step through it and watch the method build up.
Ciara is working out how many stickers she has. She has 8 sheets with 5 stickers on each.

8 × 5
Step 1 of 3
Ciara is working out how many stickers she has. She has 8 sheets with 5 stickers on each.
How many stickers does Ciara have altogether?
Ciara has 40 stickers altogether.
The key insight: The 5 times table has an easy pattern - answers always end in 5 or 0!
Watch out: 8 × 5 = 35 (counting 7 jumps instead of 8). Remember to count all 8 groups of 5, not 7. Start from 0, not from 5.
These are the misconceptions we see most often in times tables 2-10, including the ones our practice questions are specifically designed to catch.
Struggling with times tables 2-10? The real gap is often in one of these earlier topics.
SEAGReady finds the exact step where your child gets stuck, teaches it with worked examples like the one above, and brings it back for review so it sticks.
